Limited number of bounding boxes in fasterRCNN PyTorch

PetersKI: <p>I use a pre-trained fasterRCNN from PyTorch to detect small obstacles in a 4k image. Currently I am facing some issues with false negatives, so objects are not detected.</p>
<p>I recognized that the number of <strong>detected objects per image is always 100</strong>, even tough there are more objects in the image. So is the number of objects limited in fasterRCNN?</p>
