• Abstract: Deep neural networks have reached very high accuracy on object detection but their success hinges on large amounts of labeled data. To reduce the dependency on labels, various active-learning strategies have been proposed, typically based on the confidence of the detector. However, these methods are biased towards best-performing classes and can lead to acquired datasets that are not good representatives of the data in the testing set. In this work, we propose a unified framework for active learning, that considers both the uncertainty and the robustness of the detector, ensuring that the network performs accurately in all classes. Furthermore, our method is able to pseudo-label the very confident predictions, suppressing a potential distribution drift while further boosting the performance of the model. Experiments show that our method comprehensively outperforms a wide range of active-learning methods on PASCAL VOC07+12 and MS-COCO, having up to a 7.7% relative improvement, or up to 82% reduction in labeling cost.

  In Open Scene Semi-Supervised Object Detection (O-SSOD), unlabeled data may contain unknown objects not observed in the labeled data. It is detrimental to the current methods that mainly rely on self-training, as more uncertainty leads to the lower localization and classification precision of pseudo labels. We propose Credible Teacher, an end-to-end framework to prevent uncertain pseudo labels from misleading the model.

  Semi-supervised object detection (SSOD) has made significant progress with the development of pseudo-label-based end-to-end methods.

  Weakly-supervised salient object detection (WSOD) aims to develop saliency models using image-level annotations. We propose a self-calibrated training strategy by explicitly establishing a mutual calibration loop between pseudo labels and network predictions. We prove that even a much smaller dataset with well-matched annotations can facilitate models to achieve better performance as well as generalizability.
