“…Currently state-of-the-art real-time object detectors are mainly based on YOLO [61,62,63] and FCOS [76,77], which are [3,79,81,21,54,85,23]. Being able to become a state-of-the-art real-time object detector usually requires the following characteristics: (1) a faster and stronger network architecture; (2) a more effective feature integration method [22,97,37,74,59,30,9,45]; (3) a more accurate detection method [76,77,69]; (4) a more robust loss function [96,64,6,56,95,57]; (5) a more efficient label assignment method [99,20,17,82,42]; and (6) a more efficient training method.…”
