Reinforcement Learning for Improving Object Detection

Abstract

The performance of a trained object detection neural network depends a lot on the image quality. Generally, images are pre-processed before feeding them into the neural network and domain knowledge about the image dataset is used to choose the pre-processing techniques. In this paper, we introduce an algorithm called ObjectRL to choose the amount of a particular pre-processing to be applied to improve the object detection performances of pre-trained networks. The main motivation for ObjectRL is that an image which looks good to a human eye may not necessarily be the optimal one for a pre-trained object detector to detect objects.
