One-line summary

In order to address this problem, we introduce Generative Small Object YOLOv8 (GSO-YOLOv8), which expands YOLOv8x by adding a Generative Data Augmentation (GDA) module in addition to diffusion and GAN-based synthesis.

Engineering notes

Key topics: autonomous driving, object detection. See the paper for implementation details and experimental results.

Original abstract

Due to the scale variation, occlusion, and salient nature of large objects in feature maps, small object detection remains a difficult problem in computer vision. Conventional detectors like Faster R-CNN, SSD, and YOLO are less useful in the domains of autonomous driving, surveillance, medical imaging, and remote sensing because they are better at detecting medium-sized or large-sized objects than fine-grained small targets. In order to address this problem, we introduce Generative Small Object YOLOv8 (GSO-YOLOv8), which expands YOLOv8x by adding a Generative Data Augmentation (GDA) module in addition to diffusion and GAN-based synthesis. The suggested GDA can produce realistic small-object instances.
