The past decade has witnessed signifificant 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 defifined 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 classifification 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 Refifinement Network and adaptively align the convolutional features according to the anchor boxes with a novel Alignment Convolution.The ODM fifirst adopts active rotating fifilters to encode the orientation information and then produces orientation-sensitive and orientation-invariant features to alleviate the inconsistency between classifification score and localization accuracy. Besides, we further explore the approach to detect objects in large-size images, which leads to a better trade-off between speed and accuracy. 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 effificiency.
最近几年,目标检测算法在遥感图像上也取得进展,大多数现有的方法都致力于解决航空图像中物体的尺寸变化大和方向不定、拥挤所带来的问题

单阶段算法:
为了解决上述阶段算法出现的问题,作者使用以下的方法进行解决,如下图所示:
作者首先将初始的anchor(蓝色边界框)细化为一个旋转的anchor(橙色边界框),然后根据anchor(橙色边界框)的指导,调整特征采样位置(橙色点),以提取对齐的深度特征
