Lightweight Multi-Frame Integration for Robust YOLO Object Detection in Videos

Yitong Quan, Benjamin Kiefer, Martin Messmer +1

Modern image-based object detection models, such as YOLOv7, primarily process individual frames independently, thus ignoring valuable temporal context naturally present in videos.…
