DAR-Det: Dynamic Attention-Guided Rotating Detection Framework for Oriented Objects with Adaptive Feature Representation
摘要
Oriented object detection in aerial and remote sensing images poses significant challenges due to arbitrary rotations, scale variations, and complex backgrounds. This paper presents a novel detection framework DAR-Det, with four key technical innovations to address these challenges. First, the paper proposes a Swin Transformer backbone architecture enhanced with position-sensitive attention mechanisms for capturing long-range dependencies. Second, the paper designs a Dynamic Attention Module (DAM), which adaptively recalibrates feature responses based on oriented object characteristics. Third, the paper presents a BiFPN architecture with learnable weighted connections, enabling robust multi-scale feature fusion. Fourth, a Deformable Convolution enhanced Rotated Region Proposal Network (DC-RRPN) is developed, leveraging deformable convolutions for precise angle prediction. Through extensive ablation studies and comprehensive experiments on the DOTA-v1.5, the experimental results demonstrate that the approach achieves state-of-the-art performance across various scales and angles. Notably, DAR-Det achieves an impressive 80.45% mAP on DOTA-v1.5, surpassing many of the current methods by a significant margin.
