Evaluation of Small Object Detection performance on the SODA-D dataset, reporting metrics such as APs and ARs.

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.

| Scope | Recorded value |
| --- | --- |
| Task | Small Object Detection |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | SODA-D |
| Metric | AP (Small) |
| Unit | PERCENT |
| Direction | Higher is better |
| Results loaded | 5 of 5 |
| Coverage | All results currently returned for this benchmark |

Evaluation settings may differ between results. The original papers and recorded configurations are needed to establish comparability. A shared metric name alone does not establish an identical protocol.

## Metrics

- [AP (Small)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/small-object-detection-on-soda-d.md?metric=AP%20(Small)>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [AR (Small)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/small-object-detection-on-soda-d.md?metric=AR%20(Small)>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.
