Vehicle detection in aerial images is a crucial image processing step for many applications like screening of large areas. In recent years, several deep learning based frameworks have been proposed for object detection. However, these detectors were developed for datasets that considerably differ from aerial images. In this paper, we systematically investigate the potential of Fast R-CNN and Faster R-CNN for aerial images, which achieve top performing results on common detection benchmark datasets. Therefore, the applicability of 8 state-of-the-art object proposals methods used to generate a set of candidate regions and of both detectors is examined. Relevant adaptations of the object proposals methods are provided. To overcome shortcomings of the original approach in case of handling small instances, we further propose our own network that clearly outperforms state-of-the-art methods for vehicle detection in aerial images. All experiments are performed on two publicly available datasets to account for differing characteristics such as ground sampling distance, number of objects per image and varying backgrounds. |
