- Authors: Bishwo Adhikari and Heikki Huttunen
- Abstract summary: We propose a semi-automatic method for efficient bounding box annotation.
The method trains the object detector iteratively on small batches of labeled images.
It learns to propose bounding boxes for the next batch, after which the human annotator only needs to correct possible errors.

- Abstract: Manual annotation of bounding boxes for object detection in digital images is
tedious, and time and resource consuming. In this paper, we propose a
semi-automatic method for efficient bounding box annotation. The method trains
the object detector iteratively on small batches of labeled images and learns
to propose bounding boxes for the next batch, after which the human annotator
only needs to correct possible errors. We propose an experimental setup for
simulating the human actions and use it for comparing different iteration
strategies, such as the order in which the data is presented to the annotator.
We experiment on our method with three datasets and show that it can reduce the
human annotation effort significantly, saving up to 75% of total manual
annotation work.

In image classification, a significant problem arises from bias in the datasets.
One approach to mitigate such biases is to direct the model's attention toward the target object's location.
We propose a novel patch-labeling method that integrates AI assistance with crowdsourcing to capture human attention from images.

Annotations [57.615325809883636]
3D semantic scene understanding tasks have achieved great success with the emergence of deep learning, but often require a huge amount of manually annotated training data.
We propose the first weakly-supervised 3D instance segmentation method that only requires categorical semantic labels as supervision.
By generating pseudo instance labels from categorical semantic labels, our designed approach can also assist existing methods for learning 3D instance segmentation at reduced annotation cost.

The accuracy of the annotated instances of the moving objects on every image frame in a video is crucially important.
We propose a new annotation method which leverages a combination of a learning-based detector and a learning-based tracker.
