We present an Object-aware Feature Aggregation (OFA) module for video object detection (VID). Our approach is motivated by the intriguing property that video-level object-aware knowledge can be employed as a powerful semantic prior to help object recognition. As a consequence, augmenting features with such prior knowledge can effectively improve the classification and localization performance. To make features get access to more content about the whole video, we first capture the object-aware knowledge of proposals and incorporate such knowledge with the well-established pair-wise contexts. With extensive experimental results on the ImageNet VID dataset, our approach demonstrates the effectiveness of object-aware knowledge with the superior performance of 83.93 and 86.09 equipped with Sequence DIoU NMS, we obtain the best-reported mAP of 85.07 86.88 released after acceptance.
