物體檢測是計算機視覺中的經典問題，並且由於深度學習技術而取得了顯著成就。然而，將現有技術的靜態圖像物件偵測擴展到連續影像之物件偵測是一項困難的挑戰。正確的靜態圖物件偵測網路並未使用來自連續影像的豐富時間信息，並且可能遭受從靜態圖像中從未見過的困難而導致偵測失敗。

在本文中，我們提出了一種深度學習網路架構以利用時間信息並聯合訓練整個模型來執行連續影像之物件偵測。我們的模型使用光流來對當前幀與前幀之間的特徵融合過程進行引導。我們還利用密集遞歸聚合來整合過去的特徵已妥善利用利用歷史時間信息。我們在ImageNet數據集和ITRI數據集上的實驗表明，所提出的架構可以在沒有大量時間成本的情況下實現有競爭力的檢測結果。

Object detection is a classical problem in computer vision. It has achieved significant improvement in recent years thanks to deep learning techniques. However, it is challenging to extend the state-of-the-art static image object detection techniques to video object detection since traditional object detectors usually work on a single frame and do not utilize rich temporal information from video.

In this thesis, we propose a ConvNet architecture that can utilize temporal information and jointly train the whole model to perform video object detection. Our model uses optical flow to guide the feature fusion process between current frame and the previous frame. We also utilize dense recursive aggregation to integrate features computed from the past frames and make use of temporal information. Our experiments on ImageNet dataset and ITRI dataset show that the proposed architecture can achieve competitive detection result without significant time cost.
