Integration Between Cascade Region-Based Convolutional Neural Network and Bi-Directional Feature Pyramid Network for Live Object Tracking and Detection
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The current target tracking and detection algorithms often have mistakes and omissions when the target is occluded or small. To overcome the defects, this paper integrates bi-directional feature pyramid network (BiFPN) into cascade region-based convolutional neural network (R-CNN) for live object tracking and detection. Specifically, the BiFPN structure was utilized to connect between scales and fuse weighted features more efficiently, thereby enhancing the network’s feature extraction ability, and improving the detection effect on occluded and small targets. The proposed method, i.e., Cascade R-CNN fused with BiFPN, was compared with target detection algorithms like Cascade R-CNN and single shot detection (SSD) on a video frame dataset of wild animals. Our method achieved a mean average precision (mAP) of 91%, higher than that of SSD and Cascade R-CNN. Besides, it only took 0.42s for our method to detect each image, i.e., the real-time detection was realized. Experimental results prove that the proposed live object tracking and detection model, i.e., Cascade R-CNN fused with BiFPN, can adapt well to the complex detection environment, and achieve an excellent detection effect.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
