There are mainly two types of state-of-the-art object detectors. On one hand, we have two-stage detectors, such as Faster R-CNN (Region-based Convolutional Neural Networks) or Mask R-CNN, that (i) use a Region Proposal Network to generate regions of interests in the first stage and (ii) send the region proposals down the pipeline for object classification and bounding-box regression. Such models reach the highest accuracy rates, but are typically slower. On the other hand, we have single-stage detectors, such as YOLO (You Only Look Once) and SSD (Singe Shot MultiBox Detector), that treat object detection as a simple regression problem by taking an input image and learning the class probabilities and bounding box coordinates. Such models reach lower accuracy rates, but are much faster than two-stage object detectors. In this paper, we propose to use an image difficulty predictor to achieve an optimal trade-off between accuracy and speed in object detection. The image difficulty predictor is applied on the test images to split them into easy versus hard images. Once separated, the easy images are sent to the faster single-stage detector, while the hard images are sent to the more accurate two-stage detector. Our experiments on PASCAL VOC 2007 show that using image difficulty compares favorably to a random split of the images. Our method is flexible, in that it allows to choose a desired threshold for splitting the images into easy versus hard.
