Look Again, YOLO: Baidu’s RT-DETR Detection Transformer Achieves SOTA Results on Real-Time Object Detection

In the new paper DETRs Beat YOLOs on Real-Time Object Detection, a Baidu Inc. research team presents Real-Time Detection Transformer (RT-DETR), a real-time end-to-end object detector that leverages a hybrid encoder and novel IoU-aware query selection to address inference speed delay issues. RT-DETR outperforms YOLO object detectors in both accuracy and speed.
