arXiv preprint (arXiv:2008.09397) / TGRS (IEEE Xplore).
The repo is based on mmdetection.
Two versions are provided here: Original version and v20210104. We recommend to use v20210104 (i.e. the master branch).
The past decade has witnessed significant progress on detecting objects in aerial images that are often distributed with large scale variations and arbitrary orientations. However most of existing methods rely on heuristically defined anchors with different scales, angles and aspect ratios and usually suffer from severe misalignment between anchor boxes and axis-aligned convolutional features, which leads to the common inconsistency between the classification score and localization accuracy. To address this issue, we propose a Single-shot Alignment Network (S2A-Net) consisting of two modules: a Feature Alignment Module (FAM) and an Oriented Detection Module (ODM). The FAM can generate high-quality anchors with an Anchor Refinement Network and adaptively align the convolutional features according to the corresponding anchor boxes with a novel Alignment Convolution. The ODM first adopts active rotating filters to encode the orientation information and then produces orientation-sensitive and orientation-invariant features to alleviate the inconsistency between classification score and localization accuracy. Besides, we further explore the approach to detect objects in large-size images, which leads to a better speed-accuracy trade-off. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our method can achieve state-of-the-art performance on two commonly used aerial objects datasets (i.e., DOTA and HRSC2016) while keeping high efficiency.

2021-01-01. Big changes! Following mmdetection v2, we made a lot of changes to our code. Our original code contains many unnecessary functions and inappropriate modifications. So we modified related codes, e.g, dataset preprocessing and loading, unified function names, iou calculator between OBBs, and evaluation. Besides, we also implement a Cascade S2A-Net. Compared with previous versions, the updated version is more straightforward and easy to understand.

Note:
-
All models are trained on 4 GPUs with a initial learning rate 0.01. If you train the model with fewer/more GPUs, remember to change the lr, e.g., 0.01lr=0.0025lr*4GPU, 0.0025lr=0.0025lr*1GPU, 0.02lr=0.0025lr*8GPU
-
CS2A-Net-ns indicates Cascade S2A-Net with n stages. For more information, please refer to CASCADE_S2ANET.md
-
IoU means IoU Loss for bbox regression.
-
The checkpoints of S2A-Net are converted from the original version.
