• Abstract: Object detection has achieved promising success, but requires large-scale fully-annotated data, which is time-consuming and labor-extensive. Therefore, we consider object detection with mixed supervision, which learns novel object categories using weak annotations with the help of full annotations of existing base object categories. Previous works using mixed supervision mainly learn the class-agnostic objectness from fully-annotated categories, which can be transferred to upgrade the weak annotations to pseudo full annotations for novel categories. In this paper, we further transfer mask prior and semantic similarity to bridge the gap between novel categories and base categories. Specifically, the ability of using mask prior to help detect objects is learned from base categories and transferred to novel categories. Moreover, the semantic similarity between objects learned from base categories is transferred to denoise the pseudo full annotations for novel categories. Experimental results on three benchmark datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of our method over existing methods. Codes are available at https://github.com/bcmi/TraMaS-Weak-Shot-Object-Detection.

  We propose a framework with Meta prompt and Instance Contrastive learning (MIC) schemes. Firstly, we simulate a novel-class-emerging scenario to help the prompt that learns class and background prompts generalize to novel classes. Secondly, we design an instance-level contrastive strategy to promote intra-class compactness and inter-class separation, which benefits generalization of the detector to novel class objects.

  Zero-shot instance segmentation aims to detect and precisely segment objects of unseen categories without any training samples. We propose D$2$Zero with Semantic-Promoted Debiasing and Background Disambiguation. Background disambiguation produces image-adaptive background representation to avoid mistaking novel objects for background.

  Open-Vocabulary (OV) methods leverage large-scale image-caption pairs and vision-language models to learn novel categories. Our method generates pseudo-mask annotations by leveraging the localization ability of a pre-trained vision-language model for objects present in image-caption pairs. Our method trained with just pseudo-masks significantly improves the mAP scores on the MS-COCO dataset and OpenImages dataset.

• Learning Dense Object Descriptors from Multiple Views for Low-shot Category Generalization [27.583517870047487]
  We propose Deep Object Patch rimis (DOPE), which can be trained from multiple views of object instances without any category or semantic object part labels. To train DOPE, we assume access to sparse depths, foreground masks and known cameras, to obtain pixel-level correspondences between views of an object. We find that DOPE can directly be used for low-shot classification of novel categories using local-part matching, and is competitive with and outperforms supervised and self-supervised learning baselines.

  Building robust and generic object detection frameworks requires scaling to larger label spaces and bigger training datasets. We propose a novel method that leverages the rich semantics available in recent vision and language models to localize and classify objects in unlabeled images. We demonstrate the value of the generated pseudo labels in two specific tasks, open-vocabulary detection and semi-supervised object detection.

  We introduce StarNet - a few-shot model featuring an end-to-end differentiable non-parametric star-model detection and classification head. Through this head, the backbone is meta-trained using only image-level labels to produce good features for jointly localizing and classifying previously unseen categories of few-shot test tasks. Being a few-shot detector, StarNet does not require any bounding box annotations, neither during pre-training nor for novel classes adaptation.
