论文题目：《Alpha-IoU: A Family of Power Intersection over Union Losses for Bounding Box Regression》

论文地址：  https://arxiv.org/abs/2110.13675v2

1.论文简介：

文中，作者将现有的基于IoU Loss推广到一个新的Power IoU系列 Loss，该系列具有一个Power IoU项和一个附加的Power正则项，具有单个Power参数α。称这种新的损失系列为α-IoU Loss。在多目标检测基准和模型上的实验表明，α-IoU损失：

• 可以显著地超过现有的基于IoU的损失;

• 通过调节α，使检测器在实现不同水平的bbox回归精度方面具有更大的灵活性;

• 对小数据集和噪声的鲁棒性更强。

实验结果表明，α(α>1)增加了high IoU目标的损失和梯度，进而提高了bbox回归精度。

power参数α可作为调节α-IoU损失的超参数以满足不同水平的bbox回归精度，其中α >1通过更多地关注High IoU目标来获得高的回归精度(即High IoU阈值)。

α对不同的模型或数据集并不过度敏感，在大多数情况下，α=3表现一贯良好。α-IoU损失家族可以很容易地用于改进检测器的效果，在干净或嘈杂的环境下，不会引入额外的参数，也不增加训练/推理时间。

最后，将utils/loss.py文件中的iou=bbox_iou换成iou=bbox_alpha_iou即可。
