Abstract
Disclosed herein is a system and method for improving the accuracy of an object detector when trained with a dataset having a significant number of missing annotations. The method uses a novel Background Recalibration Loss (BRL) which adjusts the gradient direction according to its own activation to reduce the adverse effect of error signals by replacing the negative branch of the focal loss with a mirror of the positive branch when the activation is below a confusion threshold.
