• Abstract: Multiple datasets and open challenges for object detection have been introduced in recent years. To build more general and powerful object detection systems, in this paper, we construct a new large-scale benchmark termed BigDetection. Our goal is to simply leverage the training data from existing datasets (LVIS, OpenImages and Object365) with carefully designed principles, and curate a larger dataset for improved detector pre-training. Specifically, we generate a new taxonomy which unifies the heterogeneous label spaces from different sources. Our BigDetection dataset has 600 object categories and contains over 3.4M training images with 36M bounding boxes. It is much larger in multiple dimensions than previous benchmarks, which offers both opportunities and challenges. Extensive experiments demonstrate its validity as a new benchmark for evaluating different object detection methods, and its effectiveness as a pre-training dataset.

  We put forth a novel formulation of the aerial object detection problem, namely open-vocabulary aerial object detection (OVAD) We propose CastDet, a CLIP-activated student-teacher detection framework that serves as the first OVAD detector specifically designed for the challenging aerial scenario. Our framework integrates a robust localization teacher along with several box selection strategies to generate high-quality proposals for novel objects.

Our dataset, SARDet-100K, is a result of intense surveying, collecting, and standardizing 10 existing SAR detection datasets. To the best of our knowledge, SARDet-100K is the first COCO-level large-scale multi-class SAR object detection dataset ever created.

  3D object detection models trained on a source dataset with a specific point distribution have shown difficulties in generalizing to unseen datasets. We leverage the information available from several annotated source datasets with our Multi-Dataset Training for 3D Object Detection (MDT3D) method. We show how we managed the mix of datasets during training and finally introduce a new cross-dataset augmentation method: cross-dataset object injection.

  We propose a novel task, called generalized few-shot 3D object detection, where we have a large amount of training data for common (base) objects, but only a few data for rare (novel) classes. Specifically, we analyze in-depth differences between images and point clouds, and then present a practical principle for the few-shot setting in the 3D LiDAR dataset. To solve this task, we propose an incremental fine-tuning method to extend existing 3D detection models to recognize both common and rare objects.

  Tracking Any Object dataset consists of 2,907 high resolution videos, captured in diverse environments, which are half a minute long on average. We ask annotators to label objects that move at any point in the video, and give names to them post factum. Our vocabulary is both significantly larger and qualitatively different from existing tracking datasets.
