UHR-DETR: Efficient End-to-End Small Object Detection for Ultra-High-Resolution Remote Sensing Imagery

arXiv CS.CV

ArXi:2604.21435v1 Announce Type: new Ultra-High-Resolution (UHR) imagery has become essential for modern remote sensing, offering unprecedented spatial coverage. However, detecting small objects in such vast scenes presents a critical dilemma: retaining the original resolution for small objects causes prohibitive memory bottlenecks. Conversely, conventional compromises like image downsampling or patch cropping either erase small objects or destroy context. To break this dilemma, we propose UHR-DETR, an efficient end-to-end transformer-based detector designed for UHR imagery. First, we
