Neural Attention-Driven Non-Maximum Suppression for Person Detection.

Non-maximum suppression (NMS) is a post-processing step in almost every visual object detector. NMS aims to prune the number of overlapping detected candidate regions-of-interest (RoIs) on an image, in order to assign a single and spatially accurate detection to each object. The default NMS algorithm (GreedyNMS) is fairly simple and suffers from severe drawbacks, due to its need for manual tuning.
