LiG-DETR: Local-in-Global Reassembly in Latent Space for Aerial Object Detection
LiG-DETR introduces a Global-Local Reassembly framework for aerial object detection that captures high‑fidelity local features before compression and integrates them into a unified end‑to‑end DETR decoder. The method uses a shared encoder to extract both global and locally magnified features, reassembles the local features according to their spatial positions, and employs Context‑Preserved Selective Reassembly and Density‑Aware Adaptive Query Allocation to reduce redundant computation. Experiments demonstrate significant improvements on small and medium objects while maintaining strong performance on large objects, with favorable accuracy–efficiency trade‑offs and better cross‑domain generalization.

FocusOVD: Geometric and Contextual Feature Refinement for Open-Vocabulary Small-Object Detection
FocusOVD is an open‑vocabulary object detector that improves small‑object detection by refining geometric and contextual features without altering the frozen vision‑language model backbone. It introduces a Reweighted Cross‑scale Feature Fusion module to balance shallow and deep features, a Residual Pinwheel‑shaped Gated Convolution module to enhance local geometry in high‑resolution features, and a Residual Convolutional Gated Linear Unit module to suppress background activations and boost region‑of‑interest discriminability. Experiments on COCO‑OVD and LVIS‑OVD show that FocusOVD outperforms state‑of‑the‑art methods, achieving a novel‑category AP of 36.3% on COCO‑OVD and an overall AP of 33.7% on LVIS‑OVD.

RT-DETRv4: Painlessly Furthering Real-Time Object Detection with Vision Foundation Models
RT-DETRv4 introduces a cost‑effective distillation framework that leverages Vision Foundation Models to improve lightweight real‑time object detectors. The method uses a Deep Semantic Injector to embed high‑level VFM representations into deep detector layers and a Gradient‑guided Adaptive Modulation strategy to adjust semantic transfer intensity based on gradient norms. These techniques yield consistent performance gains across DETR‑based models without adding inference overhead, achieving state‑of‑the‑art COCO AP scores at high FPS.

DyFrDet: Towards Accurate Small Object Detection via Dynamic Frequency Suppression with Label Disambiguation
Despite the remarkable progress over the past decades, accurately identifying small objects remains challenging because of their insufficient visual cues. Previous works typically attempt to construct discriminative representation of the small objects.
