• Abstract: Pedestrian detection has been heavily studied in the last decade due to its wide application. Despite incremental progress, crowd occlusion and hard negatives are still challenging current state-of-the-art pedestrian detectors. In this paper, we offer two approaches based on the general region-based detection framework to tackle these challenges. Specifically, to address the occlusion, we design a novel coulomb loss as a regulator on bounding box regression, in which proposals are attracted by their target instance and repelled by the adjacent non-target instances. For hard negatives, we propose an efficient semantic-driven strategy for selecting anchor locations, which can sample informative negative examples at training phase for classification refinement. It is worth noting that these methods can also be applied to general object detection domain, and trainable in an end-to-end manner. We achieves consistently high performance on the Caltech-USA and CityPersons benchmarks.

  Adversarial Contrastive Prompt Tuning (ACPT) is proposed to fine-tune the CLIP image encoder to extract similar embeddings for any two intermediate adversarial queries. We show that ACPT can detect 7 state-of-the-art query-based attacks with $>99%$ detection rate within 5 shots. We also show that ACPT is robust to 3 types of adaptive attacks.

Based on the found clusters, similar scenes could be identified in the subsequent test process, which can lead to a reduction in redundant test runs.

  Universal Domain aims to transfer the knowledge between datasets by handling two shifts: domain-shift and categoryshift. Main challenge is correctly distinguishing the unknown target samples while adapting the distribution of known class knowledge from source to target. Most existing methods approach this problem by first training the target adapted known and then relying on the single threshold to distinguish unknown target samples.
