• Abstract: Training of object detection models using less data is currently the focus of existing N-shot learning models in computer vision. Such methods use object-level labels and takes hours to train on unseen classes. There are many cases where we have large amount of image-level labels available for training but cannot be utilized by few shot object detection models for training. There is a need for a machine learning framework that can be used for training any unseen class and can become useful in real-time situations. In this paper, we proposed an "Unseen Class Detector" that can be trained within a very short time for any possible unseen class without bounding boxes with competitive accuracy. We build our approach on "Strong" and "Weak" baseline detectors, which we trained on existing object detection and image classification datasets, respectively. Unseen concepts are fine-tuned on the strong baseline detector using only image-level labels and further adapted by transferring the classifier-detector knowledge between baselines. We use semantic as well as visual similarities to identify the source class (i.e. Sheep) for the fine-tuning and adaptation of unseen class (i.e. Goat). Our model (UnseenNet) is trained on the ImageNet classification dataset for unseen classes and tested on an object detection dataset (OpenImages). UnseenNet improves the mean average precision (mAP) by 10% to 30% over existing baselines (semi-supervised and few-shot) of object detection on different unseen class splits. Moreover, training time of our model is <10 min for each unseen class. Qualitative results demonstrate that UnseenNet is suitable not only for few classes of Pascal VOC but for unseen classes of any dataset or web.

Compared with existing user-assisted counting methods, our active-learning iterations achieve state-of-the-art performance in terms of counting and localizing accuracy, number of user mouse clicks, and running-time.

Being a few-shot detector, StarNet does not require any bounding box annotations, neither during pre-training nor for novel classes adaptation.
