[1908.05641] IoU-balanced Loss Functions for Single-stage ...
arxiv.org › abs › 1908Aug 15, 2019 · IoU-balanced Loss Functions for Single-stage Object Detection. Single-stage object detectors have been widely applied in computer vision applications due to their high efficiency. However, we find that the loss functions adopted by single-stage object detectors hurt the localization accuracy seriously. Firstly, the standard cross-entropy loss ...
Generalized Intersection over Union
giou.stanford.eduObject detection neural networks commonly use $\ell_1$-norm or $\ell_2$-norm for their cost function (aka. loss function). Our work shows that there is not a strong correlation between minimizing these commonly used losses and improving their IoU value.
