IRSDet: Infrared Small-Object Detection Network Based on Sparse-Skip Connection and Guide Maps

Detecting small objects in infrared images remains a challenge because most of them lack shape and texture. In this study, we proposed an infrared small-object detection method to improve the capacity for detecting thermal objects in complex scenarios. First, a sparse-skip connection block is propos...
