An attention mechanism has been adopted in video object detection task to enrich the features of key frames using adjacent frames. Although several recent studies utilized frame-level first-in-first-out (FIFO) memory to collect global video information, such a memory structure suffers from collection inefficiency, which results in low attention performance and high computational cost. To address this issue, we developed a novel scheme called diversity-aware feature aggregation (DAFA). Whereas other methods do not store sufficient feature information without expanding memory capacity, DAFA efficiently collects diverse features while avoiding redundancy using a simple Euclidean distance-based metric. Experimental results on the ImageNet VID dataset demonstrate that our lightweight model with global attention achieves 83.5 mAP on the ResNet-101 backbone, which exceeds the accuracy levels of most existing methods with a minimum runtime. Our method with global and local attention stages obtains 84.5 and 85.9 mAP on ResNet-101 and ResNeXt-101, respectively, thus achieving state-of-the-art performance without requiring additional post-processing methods.","url_abs":"https://doi.org/10.1109/ACCESS.2022.3203399","url_pdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=9874741","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"diversity","task_name":"Diversity"},{"task_slug":"management","task_name":"Management"},{"task_slug":"object-detection","task_name":"Object Detection"},{"task_slug":"video-object-detection","task_name":"Video Object Detection"},{"task_slug":"object-detection-1","task_name":"object-detection"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[{"leaderboard":"/sota/video-object-detection-on-imagenet-vid","task":"Video Object Detection","dataset":"ImageNet VID","model":"DAFA-F (ResNeXt-101)","rank_in_archive_order":12,"of":33,"metrics":{"MAP ":"85.9"},"uses_additional_data":false},{"leaderboard":"/sota/video-object-detection-on-imagenet-vid","task":"Video Object Detection","dataset":"ImageNet VID","model":"DAFA-F (ResNet-101)","rank_in_archive_order":17,"of":33,"metrics":{"MAP ":"84.5"},"uses_additional_data":false}],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
