A considerable obstacle is the wide variation in the shape (e.g., aspect ratio) of objects. Sample selection in general object detection has been widely studied as it plays a crucial role in the performance of the detection method and has achieved great progress. However, existing sample selection strategies still overlook some issues: (1) most of them ignore the object shape information; (2) they do not make a potential distinction between selected positive samples; and (3) some of them can only be applied to either anchor-free or anchor-based methods and cannot be used for both of them simultaneously. In this paper, we propose novel flexible shape-adaptive selection (SA-S) and shape-adaptive measurement (SA-M) strategies for oriented object detection, which comprise an SA-S strategy for sample selection and SA-M strategy for the quality estimation of positive samples. Specifically, the SA-S strategy dynamically selects samples according to the shape information and characteristics distribution of objects. The SA-M strategy measures the localization potential and adds quality information on the selected positive samples. The experimental results on both anchor-free and anchor-based baselines and four publicly available oriented datasets (DOTA, HRSC2016, UCASAOD, and ICDAR2015) demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method ## Results and models DOTA1.0 #### RepPoints | Backbone | mAP | Angle | lr schd | Mem (GB) | Inf Time (fps) | Aug | Batch Size | Configs | Download | | :----------------------: | :---: | :---: | :-----: | :------: | :------------: | :-: | :--------: | :--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------: | :--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------: | | ResNet50 (1024,1024,200) | 59.44 | oc | 1x | 3.45 | 15.6 | - | 2 | [rotated_reppoints_r50_fpn_1x_dota_oc](../rotated_reppoints/rotated_reppoints_r50_fpn_1x_dota_oc.py) | [model](https://download.openmmlab.com/mmrotate/v0.1.0/rotated_reppoints/rotated_reppoints_r50_fpn_1x_dota_oc/rotated_reppoints_r50_fpn_1x_dota_oc-d38ce217.pth) \| [log](https://download.openmmlab.com/mmrotate/v0.1.0/rotated_reppoints/rotated_reppoints_r50_fpn_1x_dota_oc/rotated_reppoints_r50_fpn_1x_dota_oc_20220205_145010.log.json) | | ResNet50 (1024,1024,200) | 66.45 | oc | 1x | 3.53 | 15.3 | - | 2 | [sasm_reppoints_r50_fpn_1x_dota_oc](./sasm_reppoints_r50_fpn_1x_dota_oc.py) | [model](https://download.openmmlab.com/mmrotate/v0.1.0/sasm/sasm_reppoints_r50_fpn_1x_dota_oc/sasm_reppoints_r50_fpn_1x_dota_oc-6d9edded.pth) \| [log](https://download.openmmlab.com/mmrotate/v0.1.0/sasm/sasm_reppoints_r50_fpn_1x_dota_oc/sasm_reppoints_r50_fpn_1x_dota_oc_20220205_144938.log.json) | ## Citation ``` @inproceedings{hou2022shape, title={Shape-Adaptive Selection and Measurement for Oriented Object Detection}, author={Hou, Liping and Lu, Ke and Xue, Jian and Li, Yuqiu}, booktitle={Proceedings of the AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence}, year={2022} } ```
