Information Density Imbalance in Visual Object Detection

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 2, 2026 · UTC

In object detection, the number of instances is typically used to determine whether a dataset exhibits a long-tailed distribution, implicitly assuming that the model will perform poorly on categories with fewer instances. This assumption has led to extensive research on category bias in datasets with imbalanced instance numbers. However, even in datasets where instance numbers are relatively balanced, models still exhibit category bias, indicating that instance count alone cannot explain this phenomenon. In this work, we first introduce the concept and measurement of information density. We th
