Abstract

Human parts detection has made remarkable progress due to the development of deep convolutional networks. However, many SOTA detection methods require large computational cost and are still difficult to be deployed to edge devices with limited computing resources. In this paper, we propose a lightweight Cascade Center-based Framework, called CCF-Net, for human parts detection. Firstly, a Gaussian-Induced penalty strategy is designed to ensure that the network can handle objects of various scales. Then, we use Cascade Attention Module to capture relations between different feature maps, which refines intermediate features. With our novel cross-dataset training strategy, our framework fully explores the datasets with incomplete annotations and achieves better performance. Furthermore, Center-based Knowledge Distillation is proposed to enable student models to learn better representation without additional cost. Experiments show that our method achieves a new SOTA performance on Human-Parts and COCO Human Parts benchmarks(The Datasets used in this paper were downloaded and experimented on by Kai Ye from Shenzhen University.).
