• Abstract: Zero-shot object detection aims at incorporating class semantic vectors to realize the detection of (both seen and) unseen classes given an unconstrained test image. In this study, we reveal the core challenges in this research area: how to synthesize robust region features (for unseen objects) that are as intra-class diverse and inter-class separable as the real samples, so that strong unseen object detectors can be trained upon them. To address these challenges, we build a novel zero-shot object detection framework that contains an Intra-class Semantic Diverging component and an Inter-class Structure Preserving component. The former is used to realize the one-to-more mapping to obtain diverse visual features from each class semantic vector, preventing miss-classifying the real unseen objects as image backgrounds. While the latter is used to avoid the synthesized features too scattered to mix up the inter-class and foreground-background relationship. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach, comprehensive experiments on PASCAL VOC, COCO, and DIOR datasets are conducted. Notably, our approach achieves the new state-of-the-art performance on PASCAL VOC and COCO and it is the first study to carry out zero-shot object detection in remote sensing imagery.

  Few-shot object detection (FSOD) has garnered significant research attention in the field of remote sensing. We propose a novel FSOD method for remote sensing images called Few-shot Oriented object detection with Memorable Contrastive learning (FOMC) Specifically, we employ oriented bounding boxes instead of traditional horizontal bounding boxes to learn a better feature representation for arbitrary-oriented aerial objects.

  RGB detectors still outperform event-based detectors due to sparsity of the event data and missing visual details. We develop a novel knowledge distillation approach to shrink the performance gap between these two modalities. We show that object-centric distillation allows to significantly improve the performance of the event-based student object detector.

We also introduce an Auxiliary Supervision Framework (ASF) that uses a pseudo-labeling and a soft-weighting strategies to alleviate the negative impact of noise.

  'Any-shot detection' is where totally unseen and few-shot categories can simultaneously co-occur during inference. We propose a unified any-shot detection model, that can concurrently learn to detect both zero-shot and few-shot object classes. Our framework can also be used solely for Zero-shot detection and Few-shot detection tasks.
