In recent years, due to the advancement of machine learning, object detection has become a mainstream task in the computer vision domain. The first phase of object detection is to find the regions where objects can exist. With the improvement of deep learning, traditional approaches such as sliding windows and manual feature selection techniques have been replaced with deep learning techniques. However, object detection algorithms face a problem when performing in low light, challenging weather, and crowded scenes like any other task. Such an environment is termed a challenging environment. This paper exploits pixel-level information to improve detection under challenging situations. To this end, we exploit the recently proposed hybrid task cascade network. This network works collaboratively with detection and segmentation heads at different cascade levels. We evaluate the proposed methods on three complex datasets of ExDark, CURE-TSD, and RESIDE and achieve an mAP of 0.71, 0.52, and 0.43, respectively. Our experimental results assert the efficacy of the proposed approach.
