Table of Contents

Paper List

Papers are sorted by year within each topic, newest first, with one primary entry per paper. paper links to the original source, code to the authors’ implementation, and note to our English reading note. Notes distinguish abstract screening, close reading, and reproduction; the current notes are at the abstract screening stage.

Language Guidance

Year Pub Title Links
2025 SOICT accepted² LOGOS: Language-guided Oriented Object Detection in Aerial Scenes paper · code: unverified

¹ RiO-DETR: ECCV 2026 acceptance is stated in the authors’ arXiv comments. The repository currently provides the base RT-DETR-OBB framework and some weights, without the paper-specific technical improvements. The complete research code has not been released. Authors’ notice

² LOGOS: First posted to arXiv on 2026-07-09, with author comments stating acceptance at SOICT 2025. It is listed under the stated acceptance year; the conference proceedings have not been independently checked. Source metadata

Point2RBox-v3 first appeared in 2025 and is listed under ICLR 2026. FGAA-FPN remains a preprint: a submission statement is not evidence of acceptance. Other code links identify author-provided implementations; they do not indicate successful reproduction here.

Datasets and Tools

Resource Purpose
DOTA Public datasets, OBB annotation documentation, and evaluation resources
MMRotate Oriented detection toolbox, implementations, and experiment configurations
RotationDetection Author implementations of GWD, KLD, and related methods

About This Collection

  • This is a curated starter collection maintained manually in Markdown. We check new papers alongside acceptance and code updates for existing entries. Automated collection is not configured.
  • Publication metadata comes primarily from conference websites, proceedings, arXiv, and author repositories. Preprints and acceptance claims supported only by author statements are labeled explicitly.
  • See TRACKING.md for reading and reproduction status. Experiment records include data splits, backbone, tiling, input size, hardware, precision, and timing boundaries.
  • See CONTRIBUTING.md to add papers or notes. A suggested reading order is Oriented R-CNN for the framework, then GWD / KLD / CSL / PSC, followed by a comparison of O2-RT-DETR and RiO-DETR.

References and Acknowledgments

The topic tables and standalone Markdown notes are inspired by whut09/Awesome-object-detection. Our screening notes are written from the original paper sources. See SOURCES.md for discovery resources and other layout references.
