This paper systematically analyzes non-maximum suppression (NMS) from a graph theory perspective for the first time, revealing its intrinsic structure. The authors propose two optimization methods, QSI-NMS and BOE-NMS, which respectively achieve 6.2x and 5.1x speedups over original NMS while maintaining mAP performance. Additionally, they introduce NMS-Bench, a comprehensive benchmark for assessing various NMS methods. The proposed methods are evaluated using the YOLOv8-N model on MS COCO 2017, achieving significant speed improvements with minimal impact on mAP.

This paper studies how to make object detection faster and better. It looks at something called non-maximum suppression (NMS) from a new perspective, which helps us understand how it works. The authors then come up with two ways to improve NMS: QSI-NMS and BOE-NMS. These methods are really fast, with QSI-NMS being 6.2 times faster than usual and BOE-NMS being 5.1 times faster. They also create a special tool called NMS-Bench that helps researchers test their ideas. The results show that these new methods can be very helpful.
