摘要
En 中文
Object detection is a fundamental task in remote sensing image analysis and scene understanding. Previous remote sensing object detectors are typically based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs), whose performance is significantly limited by the intrinsic locality of convolution operations. The emergence of vision Transformers brings potential solutions to this problem, which has the capability to be a solid alternative to CNNs. However, three crucial obstacles hinder the application and performance of Transformers in the task of remote sensing object detection, that is: 1) high computational complexity, especially for high-resolution remote sensing images; 2) training and sample inefficiency caused by lack of inductive bias; and 3) difficulty in learning arbitrary orientation knowledge of geospatial objects. To address these issues, in this article, a novel efficient inductive vision Transformer framework is proposed for oriented object detection in remote sensing imagery. This framework follows the hierarchical feature pyramid structure and makes threefold contributions as follows: 1) spatial redundancy in remote sensing images is fully explored and an adaptive multigrained routing mechanism is proposed to facilitate token sparsity in Transformers, which can dramatically reduce the computational cost without comprising the accuracy. 2) A compact dual-path encoding architecture, where both global long-range dependencies and local semantic relations are jointly and complementarily captured, is proposed to enhance inductive bias in Transformers. 3) An angle tokenization technique is proposed to promote the encoding, embedding, and learning of direction knowledge for oriented objects in remote sensing scenarios. In this work, the above-mentioned three contributions are instantiated in an advanced Transformer-based object detector, namely, EIA-pyramid vision Transformer (PVT). Comprehensive experiments on two publicly available datasets have demonstrated its effectiveness and superiority for oriented object detection in remote sensing images.
