PKINet-v2: Towards Powerful and Efficient Poly-Kernel Remote Sensing Object Detection

Dimensions overall score 7.0

• PKINet-v2 is an advanced backbone for remote sensing object detection that efficiently combines multiple kernel types for superior accuracy and speed. Existing RSI backbones address the two challenges separately, either by adopting anisotropic strip kernels to model slender targets or by using isotropic large kernels to capture broader context.problem 35%

• ScienceToStartup currently rates this 7.0/10 on the public viability pass. To enable efficient deployment, we further introduce a Heterogeneous Kernel Re-parameterization (HKR) Strategy that fuses all heterogeneous branches into a single depth-wise convolution for inference, eliminating fragmented kernel launches without accuracy loss. A public repository is linked, so build verification can inspect implementation evidence instead of treating the paper as PDF-only.result 35%
