Label assignment plays a significant role in modern object detection models. Detection models may yield totally different performances with different label assignment strategies. For anchor-based detection models, the IoU (Intersection over…
For the training of face detection network based on R-CNN framework, anchors are assigned to be positive samples if intersection-over-unions (IoUs) with ground-truth are higher than the first threshold(such as 0.7); and to be negative…
