Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
In recent years, a large number of quantization schemes have been proposed for compressing convolutional neural networks (CNN). However, most of them have the following problems: 1) when there are outliers in the weight, post-training quantization cannot obtain the ideal effect, and the accuracy loss is unavoidable; 2) quantizing the non-maximum suppression (NMS) stage of oriented object detection networks is non-trivial so that such networks are difficult to deploy on edge computing devices that only support integer operations. In this letter, we propose the outlier-aware quantization (OAQ) to boost the robustness of the post-training quantization method. Besides, we design a multilayer perceptron network to approximate the intersection-over-union (IoU) of rotated boxes, making the NMS stage can be deployed on integer-arithmetic-only devices. The experiment results demonstrate that our solution outperforms the widely used post-training quantizationmethod. Meanwhile, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first study that focuses on the optimization and quantization of the NMS stage of oriented object detection networks.
