• Abstract summary: 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.

• Abstract: Building robust and generic object detection frameworks requires scaling to larger label spaces and bigger training datasets. However, it is prohibitively costly to acquire annotations for thousands of categories at a large scale. 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, effectively generating pseudo labels for object detection. Starting with a generic and class-agnostic region proposal mechanism, we use vision and language models to categorize each region of an image into any object category that is required for downstream tasks. We demonstrate the value of the generated pseudo labels in two specific tasks, open-vocabulary detection, where a model needs to generalize to unseen object categories, and semi-supervised object detection, where additional unlabeled images can be used to improve the model. Our empirical evaluation shows the effectiveness of the pseudo labels in both tasks, where we outperform competitive baselines and achieve a novel state-of-the-art for open-vocabulary object detection. Our code is available at https://github.com/xiaofeng94/VL-PLM.

  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.

It is a two-stage training approach that first uses a location-guided image-caption matching technique to learn class labels. We show that a simple language model fits better than a large contextualized language model for detecting novel objects.
