We evaluated the out-of-the-box performance of three state-of-the-art CNN-based object detection algorithms (Faster R-CNN, R-FCN and SSD) on these datasets and compared them -in terms of accuracy and run-time.

We explore their +performance based on different feature extractors. Furthermore, we investigate the effect of the object size on the algo- rithm performance. For this purpose, we group all objects in each image into three categories (small, medium and large) according to the number of occupied pixels in the annotated bounding box. Experiments show that Faster R-CNN with -ResNet101 as feature extractor outperforms the other algo- -rithms. +ResNet101 as feature extractor outperforms the other algorithms. # An Efficient Multi-sensor Fusion Approach for Object Detection in Maritime Environmentt [6]: Robust real-time object detection and tracking are challenging problems in autonomous transportation systems due to operation of algorithms in inherently uncertain and -dynamic environments and rapid movement of objects. There- -fore, tracking and detection algorithms must cooperate with +dynamic environments and rapid movement of objects. Therefore, tracking and detection algorithms must cooperate with each other to achieve smooth tracking of detected objects that later can be used by the navigation system. In this paper, we first present an efficient multi-sensor fusion approach based on the probabilistic data association method in order to achieve -accurate object detection and tracking results. The proposed ap- -proach fuses the detection results obtained independently from +accurate object detection and tracking results. The proposed approach fuses the detection results obtained independently from four main sensors: radar, LiDAR, RGB camera and infrared camera. It generates object region proposals based on the fused detection result. Then, a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN)
