An Efficient Aerial Image Detection with Variable Receptive Fields by Wenbin Liu, Liangren Shi, Guocheng An

“…This article presents VRF-DETR, a lightweight real-time object detection framework for aerial remote sensing images, aimed at addressing the challenge of insufficient receptive fields for easily confused categories due to differences in height and perspective. Based on the RT-DETR architecture, our approach introduces three key innovations: the multi-scale receptive field adaptive fusion (MSRF²) module replaces the Transformer encoder with parallel dilated convolutions and spatial-channel attention to adjust receptive fields for confusing objects dynamically; the gated multi-scale context (GMSC) block reconstructs the backbone using Gated Multi-Scale Context units with attention-gated convolution (AGConv), reducing parameters while enhancing multi-scale feature extraction; and the context-guided fusion (CGF) module optimizes feature fusion via context-guided weighting to resolve multi-scale semantic conflicts. …”
