Abstract

Object detection in images is inherently imbalanced and prone to overfitting on the training set. This work investigates the use of a validation set and sampling methods in Multi-Objective Genetic Programming (MOGP) to improve the effectiveness and robustness of object detection in images. Results show that sampling methods decrease runtimes substantially and increase robustness of detectors at higher detection rates, and that a combination of validation together with sampling improves upon a validation-only approach in effectiveness and efficiency.
