Abstract

Small object detection poses a formidable challenge in the field of computer vision, particularly when it comes to analyzing aerial remote sensing images. Despite the rapid development of deep learning and significant progress in detection techniques in natural scenes, the migration of these algorithms to aerial images has not met expectations. This is primarily due to limitations in imaging acquisition conditions, including small target size, viewpoint specificity, background complexity, as well as scale and orientation diversity. Although the increasing application of deep learning-based algorithms to overcome these problems, few studies have summarized the optimization of different deep learning strategies…
