Tiny object detection plays a vital role in drone surveillance, remote sensing, and autonomous systems, enabling the identification of small targets across vast landscapes. However, existing methods suffer from inefficient feature leverage and high computational costs due to redundant feature processing and rigid query allocation. To address these challenges, we propose Dome-DETR, a novel framework with Density-Oriented Feature-Query Manipulation for Efficient Tiny Object Detection. To reduce feature redundancies, we introduce a lightweight Density-Focal Extractor (DeFE) to produce clustered compact foreground masks. Leveraging these masks, we incorporate Masked Window Attention Sparsification (MWAS) to focus computational resources on the most informative regions via sparse attention. Besides, we propose Progressive Adaptive Query Initialization (PAQI), which adaptively modulates query …
本文提出 Dome-DETR，一种面向微小物体检测的高效框架。针对现有方法特征利用不充分和计算成本高的问题，引入轻量级密度聚焦提取器（DeFE）生成紧凑前景掩码，并基于掩码的窗口注意力稀疏化（MWAS）将计算资源集中于关键区域。同时提出渐进自适应查询初始化（PAQI），自适应调节查询分布，提升检测效率与精度。
