AWhat changed
Built semantically enriched feature maps at several backbone resolutions through a top-down pathway and same-resolution lateral additions, reusing one image's convolutional hierarchy.
Scientific scope
Built semantically enriched feature maps at several backbone resolutions through a top-down pathway and same-resolution lateral additions, reusing one image's convolutional hierarchy. Feature pyramids and skip connections predate the method. This construction is not a zero-cost substitute for every image pyramid; scales retain different information and detection effects depend on heads and training. Inherited backbone and proposal methods retain attribution.
