• Abstract: Open-set object detection (OSOD) has recently attracted considerable attention. It is to detect unknown objects while correctly detecting/classifying known objects. We first point out that the scenario of OSOD considered in recent studies, which considers an unlimited variety of unknown objects similar to open-set recognition (OSR), has a fundamental issue. That is, we cannot determine what to detect and what not for such unlimited unknown objects, which is necessary for detection tasks. This issue leads to difficulty with the evaluation of methods' performance on unknown object detection. We then introduce a novel scenario of OSOD, which deals with only unknown objects that share the super-category with known objects. It has many real-world applications, e.g., detecting an increasing number of fine-grained objects. This new setting is free from the above issue and evaluation difficulty. Moreover, it makes detecting unknown objects more realistic owing to the visual similarity between known and unknown objects. We show through experimental results that a simple method based on the uncertainty of class prediction from standard detectors outperforms the current state-of-the-art OSOD methods tested in the previous setting.

  We introduce a more realistic formulation, named semi-supervised open-world detection (SS-OWOD) We demonstrate that the performance of the state-of-the-art OWOD detector dramatically deteriorates in the proposed SS-OWOD setting. Our experiments on 4 datasets including MS COCO, PASCAL, Objects365 and DOTA demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach.

  Open World Object Detection (OWOD) is a new computer vision task that bridges the gap between classic object detection (OD) benchmarks and object detection in the real world. We introduce a novel probabilistic framework for objectness estimation, where we alternate between probability distribution estimation and objectness likelihood of known objects. The resulting Probabilistic Objectness transformer-based open-world detector, PROB, integrates our framework into traditional object detection models.

  We propose a novel training strategy, called UNKAD, able to predict unknown objects without requiring any annotation. UNKAD first identifies and pseudo-labels unknown objects and then uses the pseudo-annotations to train an additional unknown class. While UNKAD can directly detect unknown objects, we further combine it with previous unknown detection techniques, showing that it improves their performance at no costs.
