Revives the highest-resolution feature, discarded by DETR-like detectors for cost, to improve transformer-based tiny object detection while suppressing dense background noise.

Problem

Tiny object detection in DETR-like detectors suffers because fine details are lost in downsampling; the highest-resolution feature is usually discarded due to computational cost, and reintroducing it brings dense background noise.

Approach

Reintroduces the discarded highest-resolution feature into a transformer-based detector in a way that controls its computational cost and filters dense background noise, rather than naively adding it back.
