Currently, mainstream oriented object detectors are based on densely placed predefined anchors. However, the high number of anchors aggravates the positive and negative sample imbalance problem, which may lead to duplicate detections or missed detections. To address the problem, this paper proposes a novel anchor-free two-stage oriented object detector. We propose the Anchor-Free Oriented Region Proposal Network (AFO-RPN) to generate high-quality oriented proposals without enormous predefined anchors. To deal with rotation problems, we also propose a new representation of an oriented box based on a polar coordinate system. To solve the severe appearance ambiguity problems faced by anchor-free methods, we use a Criss-Cross Attention Feature Pyramid Network (CCA-FPN) to exploit the contextual information of each pixel and its neighbors in order to enhance the feature representation. Extensive experiments on three public remote sensing benchmarks\u2014DOTA, DIOR-R, and HRSC2016\u2014demonstrate that our method can achieve very promising detection performance, with a mean average precision (mAP) of 80.68%, 67.15%, and 90.45%, respectively, on the benchmarks.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs14051246","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,3]],"date-time":"2022-03-03T20:36:30Z","timestamp":1646339790000},"page":"1246","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":21,"title":["Oriented Object Detection in Remote Sensing Images with Anchor-Free Oriented Region Proposal Network"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2650-7091","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jianxiang","family":"Li","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electronic Information and Communications, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan 430074, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3770-0604","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yan","family":"Tian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electronic Information and Communications, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan 430074, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7764-0941","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yiping","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electronic Information and Communications, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan 430074, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7029-4997","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zili","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electronic Information and Communications, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan 430074, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"296","DOI":"10.1016\/j.isprsjprs.2019.11.023","article-title":"Object detection in optical remote sensing images: A survey and a new benchmark","volume":"159","author":"Li","year":"2020","journal-title":"ISPRS J.
