RSDet++: Point-based Modulated Loss for More Accurate Rotated Object Detection

We classify the discontinuity of loss in both five-param and eight-param rotated object detection methods as rotation sensitivity error (RSE) which will result in performance degeneration. We introduce a novel modulated rotation loss to alleviate the problem and propose a rotation sensitivity detection network (RSDet) which is consists of an eight-param single-stage rotated object detector and the modulated rotation loss. Our proposed RSDet has several advantages: 1) it reformulates the rotated object detection problem as predicting the corners of objects while most previous methods employ a five-para-based regression method with different measurement units. 2) modulated rotation loss achieves consistent improvement on both five-param and eight-param rotated object detection methods by solving the discontinuity of loss. To further improve the accuracy of our method on objects smaller than 10 pixels, we introduce a novel RSDet++ which is consists of a point-based anchor-free rotated object detector and a modulated rotation loss. Extensive experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of both RSDet and RSDet++, which achieve competitive results on rotated object detection in the challenging benchmarks DOTA1.0, DOTA1.5, and DOTA2.0. We hope the proposed method can provide a new perspective for designing algorithms to solve rotated object detection and pay more attention to tiny objects.
