AGLG-DINO: adaptive global–local gating and geometry-aware efficient DETR for remote sensing object detection
摘要
Balancing computational efficiency with fine-grained discrimination remains a persistent bottleneck in remote sensing object detection. While emerging efficient DETR architectures mitigate overhead via interleaved updates, this asynchronous propagation risks context leakage, where global noise obscures high-frequency details. Concurrently, standard absolute positional encodings lack the relative geometric precision to resolve dense clusters, leading to query collapse. We propose AGLG-DINO, a unified framework addressing these limitations. First, the Adaptive Global–Local Gating (AGLG) module functions as a semantic filter, suppressing background clutter by dynamically conditioning global context injection on pixel-wise relevance. Second, 2D Mixed-Rotary Positional Embeddings (RoPE) are integrated into the decoder to enforce relative spatial constraints, effectively disambiguating closely packed instances. Extensive experiments on DIOR and RSOD benchmarks demonstrate that AGLG-DINO establishes a new state-of-the-art efficiency-accuracy trade-off, significantly outperforming baselines with negligible computational overhead.
