Object detection is essential in Computer Vision and is widely applied in all areas. This paper proposes a method called BAFPN. BAFPN is a new bidirectional Feature Pyramid Network that constructs accurate object detection networks based on YOLOv4 by implementing Adaptively Spatial Feature Fusion. Besides, Exponential Moving Average is used to improve the network performance. The developed network not only maintains high computing speed but also enhances the mAP by 4.3% when testing with the MS COCO dataset and when comparing it to the original YOLOv4. To further improve the performance, the trained model was pruned using the Batch Normalization layer's scaling factor, achieving an 18% reduction in size and improving object detection speed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
