基于anchor的目标检测算法中，会产生很多候选矩形框冗余。会出现多个矩形框指向同一个目标的情况，为了将最能代表位置的矩形框留下，将其他矩形框剔除，提出了非极大值抑制算法。
非极大值抑制（Non-Maximum Suppression）算法简称NMS算法。
原理
IoU(Intersection over Union)为交并比，如图1所示，IoU相当于两个区域交叉的部分除以两个区域的并集部分得出的结果。图2是IoU为各个取值时的情况展示，一般来说，这个score ＞ 0.5 就可以被认为一个不错的结果了。
经典NMS最初第一次应用到目标检测中是在RCNN算法中，其实现严格按照搜索局部极大值，抑制非极大值元素的思想来实现的，具体的实现步骤如下：
中文：
（1）设定目标框的置信度阈值，常用的阈值是0.5左右
（2）根据置信度降序排列候选框列表
（3）选取置信度最高的框A添加到输出列表，并将其从候选框列表中删除
（4）计算A与候选框列表中的所有框的IoU值，删除大于阈值的候选框
（5）重复上述过程，直到候选框列表为空，返回输出列表
英文：
1. choose the highest score element a_1 in set B, add a_1 to the keep set C
2. compute the IOU between the chosen element(such as a_1) and others elements in set B
3. only keep the nums at set B whose IOU value is less than thresholds (can be set as >=0.5), delete the nums similiar
to a_1(the higher IOU it is , the more interseciton between a_1 and it will have)
4. choose the highest score value a_2 left at set B and add a_2 to set C
5. repeat the 2-4 until there is nothing in set B, while set C is the NMS value set
