• Abstract: Nowadays, Semi-Supervised Object Detection (SSOD) is a hot topic, since, while it is rather easy to collect images for creating a new dataset, labeling them is still an expensive and time-consuming task. One of the successful methods to take advantage of raw images on a Semi-Supervised Learning (SSL) setting is the Mean Teacher technique, where the operations of pseudo-labeling by the Teacher and the Knowledge Transfer from the Student to the Teacher take place simultaneously. However, the pseudo-labeling by thresholding is not the best solution since the confidence value is not strictly related to the prediction uncertainty, not permitting to safely filter predictions. In this paper, we introduce an additional classification task for bounding box localization to improve the filtering of the predicted bounding boxes and obtain higher quality on Student training. Furthermore, we empirically prove that bounding box regression on the unsupervised part can equally contribute to the training as much as category classification. Our experiments show that our IL-net (Improving Localization net) increases SSOD performance by 1.14% AP on COCO dataset in limited-annotation regime.

  Current approaches generate pseudo-labels from model predictions for unlabeled samples. We propose exploiting totemporal metainformation in SSL to improve the quality of pseudo-labels. We show that adding the available metadata to the input of the predictor at test time degenerates the prediction quality for metadata outside thetemporal distribution of the training set.

  State-of-the-art 3D object detectors are usually trained on large-scale datasets with high-quality 3D annotations. A natural remedy is to adopt semi-supervised learning (SSL) by leveraging a limited amount of labeled samples and abundant unlabeled samples. This paper introduces a novel approach of Hierarchical Supervision and Shuffle Data Augmentation (HSSDA), which is a simple yet effective teacher-student framework.

  Weakly-supervised object detection (WSOD) has emerged as an inspiring recent topic to avoid expensive instance-level object annotations. We defend the problem setting for improving localization performance by leveraging the bounding box regression knowledge from a well-annotated auxiliary dataset. Our method performs favorably against state-of-the-art WSOD methods and knowledge transfer model with similar problem setting.
