| Résumé: | The detection of primary and secondary schools (PSSs) is a meaningful task for composite object detection in remote sensing images (RSIs). As a typical composite object in RSIs, PSSs have diverse appearances with complex backgrounds, which makes it difficult to effectively extract their features using the existing deep-learning-based object detection algorithms. Aiming at the challenges of PSSs detection, we propose an end-to-end framework called the attention-guided dense network (ADNet), which can effectively improve the detection accuracy of PSSs. First, a dual attention module (DAM) is designed to enhance the ability in representing complex characteristics and alleviate distractions in the background. Second, a dense feature fusion module (DFFM) is built to promote attention cues flow into low layers, which guides the generation of hierarchical feature representation. Experimental results demonstrate that our proposed method outperforms the state-of-the-art methods and achieves 79.86% average precision. The study proves the effectiveness of our proposed method on PSSs detection. |
