Abstract

In this paper, we propose to extract the multi-scaled and rotation-insensitive deep features to address the issues of object multi-solutions and rotations in geospatial object detection. To this end, we develop a novel object detection framework where a rotation-insensitive convolution neural network is applied for extracting multi-scaled and direction-insensitive feature representation and then the learned features can be fed into the ensemble classifier learning with fast feature pyramid. Such a non-end-to-end learning strategy intuitively reduces the computational cost without the additional performance loss, yielding an effective and efficient light-weight object detection framework. Experimental results conducted on the NWPU VHR-10 dataset demonstrate that the proposed framework outperforms several state-of-the-art baselines.
