YOLOv14: Adaptive Real-Time Object Detection for Diverse Imaging Conditions

Read the original on arXiv Computer Vision →

arXiv:2608. 04720v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Real-time object detectors achieve remarkable accuracy under controlled conditions, yet degrade sharply on non-ideal inputs-fisheye distortion, game-rendered content, aerial views, and 360{\deg}panoramas.

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.

PDA++: Field-Aligned Planning and Scene-Adaptive Insertion in Remote Sensing

PDA++ is a unified, environment‑aware object insertion framework for remote sensing imagery that improves few‑shot and long‑tail recognition. It operates in three stages: Planning, which selects scene‑compatible poses using an affordance field; Decoupling, which conditions the background on pose to preserve object identity while adapting to the scene; and Assimilation, which aligns multi‑scale texture distributions via optimal transport to enhance local coherence. The method achieves a whole‑image FID of 6.28 and boosts average few‑shot recognition mAP50 by 17.69 points on optical data, while also improving ship detection on SAR imagery and maintaining performance under cross‑dataset transfer and amorphous‑target insertion.

Domain shift-robust object detection with GenAI image editing

The paper investigates using diffusion-based generative image editing to improve object detector robustness against domain shifts, specifically camouflaged military vehicle detection. By synthetically adding foliage, netting, and multi‑spectral camouflage to training data with models such as Qwen Image Edit 2509 and Flux.2 Dev, the authors demonstrate significant mAP gains (up to +20.1 for foliage) over detectors trained on uncamouflaged data. LoRA fine‑tuning further boosts performance for the more challenging multi‑spectral camouflage.
