Background:

Transformer-based object detection models like DETR and DINO show promise but struggle with small object detection.
Existing methods require significant feature refinement for detecting diminutive objects.

Purpose of the Study:

To propose an innovative feature enhancement method for recursive prediction tasks, specifically targeting improved small object detection.
To address the limitations of current models in accurately identifying small objects in complex scenes.

Main Methods:

Incorporated Switchable Atrous Convolution (SAC) to enhance feature extraction for small targets.
Introduced a Recursive Small Object Prediction (RSP) module to refine prediction head operations.
Augmented the loss function with Normalized Wasserstein Distance (NWD) for better small object localization.

Main Results:

The proposed model demonstrates superior performance in small object detection compared to the DINO model.
Empirical validation on the VISDRONE2019 dataset confirms the model's effectiveness.
Achieved improved average precision (AP) specifically for small object detection tasks.

Conclusions:

The developed feature enhancement technique significantly boosts small object detection capabilities.
The combination of SAC, RSP, and NWD offers a robust solution for challenging object detection scenarios.
This work advances the state-of-the-art in Transformer-based object detection for diminutive objects.
