New method SCAHI improves small object detection in high-res images

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A new research paper explores the effectiveness of sliced inference techniques for small object detection in high-resolution imagery. The study, which compares seven dense detectors across two datasets, found that increasing image resolution often yields better results than tiling with simple box fusion. Researchers introduced SCAHI (Slicing with Coverage-Aware Hyper Inference), a novel method that improves upon existing tiling techniques by accumulating dense outputs with weighted coverage, demonstrating significant gains in detection accuracy.

    When Does Sliced Inference Pay Off? Resolution, Tiling and Dense Fusion for Small Object Detection

    arXiv:2611.12657v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Sliced inference such as SAHI is the standard remedy for small objects in high-resolution imagery, but its gains are usually measured against low-resolution baselines. We revisit sliced inference with scale as the explicit varia…
