摘要: 视频目标检测(VID)的主要任务是利用视频帧之间的时序信息来辅助检测。与图像目标检测不同,视频目标检测能够利用丰富的时序上下文信息,通过参考其他帧的特征来增强当前帧的检测效果。因此,现有方法普遍致力于聚合多帧间的特征,以构建时序增强的特征表示,从而提升检测的准确性。然而,在视频序列中,目标常因遮挡、运动模糊等因素出现外观退化,导致单帧检测器难以生成高质量的候选区域,使得后续的跨帧特征聚合过程失效。为此,提出一种联合跟踪与检测的视频目标检测方法,旨在改善候选区域缺失导致的聚合失败问题。具体而言,该方法首先引入轻量级跟踪器,并设计特征选择模块,以协同利用检测信息与跟踪器提供的运动先验;其次,采用加权框融合(WBF)算法对检测框与跟踪预测框进行合并,以生成在遮挡等挑战场景下更为可靠的候选区域;最后,提取这些高质量候选区域及其对应轨迹上的特征,送入后续模块进行时序聚合。在ImageNet VID数据集上的实验结果表明,所提方法有效增强了模型在遮挡场景下的鲁棒性,展现出更高的检测精度。

Abstract: Video object detection(VID) aims to exploit temporal information between video frames to assist object detection.Unlike still-image detection,VID can leverage rich temporal context by referencing features from other frames to enhance the detection performance.Therefore,existing methods generally focus on aggregating features across multiple frames to construct temporally enhanced feature representations and improve detection accuracy.However,in video sequences,objects often undergo appearance degradation due to factors such as occlusion and motion blur,making it difficult for single-frame detectors to generate high-quality candidate regions.This,in turn,can cause the subsequent cross-frame feature aggregation to fail.To address this issue,this paper proposes a tracking-assisted video object detection method designed to mitigate aggregation failures caused by missing candidate regions.Specifically,it introduces a lightweight tracker and designs a feature selection module to jointly utilize detection outputs and motion priors provided by the tracker.It then employs the WBF(Weighted Box Fusion) algorithm to merge detection boxes with tracking predictions,producing more reliable candidate regions under challenging conditions such as occlusion.Finally,it extracts these high-quality candidate regions and their corresponding trajectory features for subsequent temporal aggregation.Experiments on the ImageNet VID dataset demonstrate that the proposed method effectively enhances robustness in occluded scenarios and achieves higher detection accuracy compared with previous VID approaches.
