Deep learning-based object detection technology is actively studied, and non-maximum suppression (NMS) is an algorithm used to remove redundant object detection. NMS creates a bounding box for objects detected using a fixed ratio to determine the probability of an object being present. However, this constraint does not solve the difficulty in detecting objects that significantly overlap or are too small. Soft-NMS is an improvement. Nevertheless, free parameter values are manually chosen to provide non-optimal results. Our proposed Adaptive-NMS algorithm (1) calculates the optimal free parameters in real-time and (2) provides for multi-class object detection in highly dense images, improving results over Soft-NMS up to 12.2%.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
