目标检测:SSD目标检测中PriorBox代码解读
这篇博客主要写prior_box_layer
这一层完成的是给定一系列feature map后如何在上面生成prior box。SSD的做法很有意思,对于输入大小是W×H的feature map,生成的prior box中心就是W×H个,均匀分布在整张图上,像下图中演示的一样。在每个中心上,可以生成多个不同长宽比的prior box,如[1/3, 1/2, 1, 2, 3]。所以在一个feature map上可以生成的prior box总数是W×H×length_of_aspect_ratio,对于比较大的feature map,如VGG的conv4_3,生成的prior box可以达到数千个。当然对于边界上的box,还要做一些处理保证其不超出图片范围,这都是细节了。
这里需要注意的是,虽然prior box的位置是在W×H的格子上,但prior box的大小并不是跟格子一样大,而是人工指定的,原论文中随着feature map从底层到高层,prior box的大小在0.2到0.9之间均匀变化。
一开始看SSD的时候很困扰我的一点就是形状的匹配问题:SSD用卷积层做bbox的拟合,输出的不应该是feature map吗,怎么能正好输出4个坐标呢?这里的做法有点暴力,比如需要输出W×H×length_of_aspect_ratio×4个坐标,就直接用length_of_aspect_ratio×4个channel的卷积层做拟合,这样就得到length_of_aspect_ratio×4个大小为W×H的feature map,然后把feature map拉成一个长度为W×H×length_of_aspect_ratio×4的向量,用SmoothL1之类的loss去拟合,效果还意外地不错……
