Reproducibility Variable Result LLM Response
Research Type Experimental We verify the gradient corner pooling algorithm on the dataset and in real scenarios, respectively. The networks with gradient corner pooling located the corner points earlier in the training process and achieve an average accuracy improvement of 0.2%-1.6% on the MS-COCO dataset. The detectors with gradient corner pooling show better angle adaptability for arrayed objects in the actual scene test. We test our method on the dataset and real-world scenarios respectively and conduct ablation experiments for each module.

Pseudocode Yes Algorithm 1: Gradient corner pooling
Open Source Code No The paper does not provide an explicit statement or link to open-source code for the described methodology.
Open Datasets Yes We evaluate our method on the MS-COCO dataset (Lin et al. 2014).
Dataset Splits Yes We follow common practice (Lin et al. 2017) and use the COCO trainval35k split (union of 80k images from train and a random 35k subset of images from the 40k image val split) for training networks such as Corner Net, Corner Net-Saccade, Center Net and Center Net++. The ablation studies and visualization experiments are performed on the corresponding validation set.
Hardware Specification Yes For all the experiments, due to limited resources, we train Corner Net-104, Center Net-52, Center Net++, Rep Points v2, Corner Net-Saccade on four Ge Force RTX3090 GPUs
Software Dependencies No The paper states 'follow the training details in (Law and Deng 2018; Duan et al. 2019, 2022; Chen et al. 2020; Law et al. 2019), respec-tively.', but does not list specific software dependencies with version numbers.
Experiment Setup No The paper states 'follow the training details in (Law and Deng 2018; Duan et al. 2019, 2022; Chen et al. 2020; Law et al. 2019), respec-tively.', indicating that specific experimental setup details (like hyperparameters) are referenced from other papers rather than explicitly stated within this paper's main text.
