Object detectors are vital to many modern computer vision applications. However, even state-of-the-art object detectors are not perfect. On two images that look similar to human eyes, the same detector can make different predictions because of small image distortions like camera sensor noise and lighting changes. This problem is called inconsistency. Existing accuracy metrics do not properly account for inconsistency, and similar work in this area only targets improvements on artificial image distortions. Therefore, we propose a method to use nonartificial video frames to measure object detection consistency over time, across frames. Using this method, we show that the consistency of modern object detectors ranges from 83.2% to 97.1% on different video datasets from the multiple object tracking challenge. We conclude by showing that applying image distortion corrections such as WEBP Image Compression and Unsharp Masking can improve consistency by as much as 5.1%, with no loss in accuracy. |
