Bottom-up Path Augmentation is a feature extraction technique that seeks to shorten the information path and enhance a feature pyramid with accurate localization signals existing in low-levels. This is based on the fact that high response to edges or instance parts is a strong indicator to accurately localize instances.

Each building block takes a higher resolution feature map Nᵢ and a coarser map Pᵢ₊₁ through lateral connection and generates the new feature map Nᵢ₊₁ Each feature map Nᵢ first goes through a 3 ×3 convolutional layer with stride $2$ to reduce the spatial size. Then each element of feature map Pᵢ₊₁ and the down-sampled map are added through lateral connection. The fused feature map is then processed by another 3 ×3 convolutional layer to generate Nᵢ₊₁ for following sub-networks. This is an iterative process and terminates after approaching P₅. In these building blocks, we consistently use channel 256 of feature maps. The feature grid for each proposal is then pooled from new feature maps, i.e., {N₂, N₃, N₄, N₅}.

Papers per year the archive tags with this method, by the paper's archive date (123 dated). Bars are counts, not a trend claim.

Components: the archive holds no method-to-method composition, so PwC's Components table cannot be rebuilt; the Papers list carries no Results column for the same reason (the archive does not join its leaderboard rows to method tags).
