New AERODet model exploits RGB-Event data asymmetry for superior object detection

Researchers have developed a new object detection model called AERODet that leverages the distinct strengths of RGB and Event data. Unlike previous methods that symmetrically fuse these modalities, AERODet recognizes that Event data is better for class-agnostic localization, while RGB data excels at fine-grained classification. The model incorporates a Scale-wise Uncertainty-aware Reliability Estimation (SURE) mechanism to dynamically weigh the modalities during localization and a Task-Decoupled Semantic Refinement (TDSR) component for improved classification. Experiments on the FRED and NeRDD datasets show AERODet significantly outperforms existing RGB-Event baselines, achieving a 10.7 mAP improvement on the FRED challenging split. AI

IMPACT This research could lead to more accurate and efficient object detection systems by better utilizing complementary sensor data.
