Deformable Polar Polygon Object Detection

Deformable polar polygon object detection aims to improve upon traditional rectangular bounding boxes by representing objects with more accurate, polygon-based shapes, thereby enhancing precision without the computational burden of pixel-level instance segmentation. Current research focuses on developing efficient neural network architectures, often employing graph-based methods or autoregressive models, to predict sparse sets of polygon vertices, typically represented in polar coordinates. This approach is proving valuable in applications like autonomous driving and geospatial analysis, where precise object delineation is crucial for tasks such as scene understanding and vectorized map creation.
