• Abstract: We propose a new setting that relaxes an assumption in the conventional Co-Salient Object Detection (CoSOD) setting by allowing the presence of "noisy images" which do not show the shared co-salient object. We call this new setting Generalised Co-Salient Object Detection (GCoSOD). We propose a novel random sampling based Generalised CoSOD Training (GCT) strategy to distill the awareness of inter-image absence of co-salient objects into CoSOD models. It employs a Diverse Sampling Self-Supervised Learning (DS3L) that, in addition to the provided supervised co-salient label, introduces additional self-supervised labels for noisy images (being null, that no co-salient object is present). Further, the random sampling process inherent in GCT enables the generation of a high-quality uncertainty map highlighting potential false-positive predictions at instance level. To evaluate the performance of CoSOD models under the GCoSOD setting, we propose two new testing datasets, namely CoCA-Common and CoCA-Zero, where a common salient object is partially present in the former and completely absent in the latter. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our proposed method significantly improves the performance of CoSOD models in terms of the performance under the GCoSOD setting as well as the model calibration degrees.

  This paper introduces a novel two-stage self-supervised approach for detecting co-occurring salient objects (CoSOD) in image groups without requiring segmentation annotations. We train a self-supervised network that detects co-salient regions by computing local patch-level feature correspondences across images. In experiments on three CoSOD benchmark datasets, our model outperforms the corresponding state-of-the-art models by a huge margin.

  Co-Salient Object Detection (CoSOD) is a rapidly growing task, extended from Salient Object Detection (SOD) and Common Object (Co-Segmentation) There is still no standard and efficient training set in CoSOD, which makes it chaotic to choose training sets in the recently proposed CoSOD methods. In this thesis, a new CoSOD training set is introduced, named Co-Saliency of ImageNet (CoSINe) dataset.

  This paper identifies and addresses a serious design bias of existing salient object detection (SOD) datasets. This design bias has led to a saturation in performance for state-of-the-art SOD models when evaluated on existing datasets. We propose a new high-quality dataset and update the previous saliency benchmark.

  Co-salient object detection (CoSOD) aims to detect the co-occurring salient objects in a group of images. Existing CoSOD datasets often have a serious data bias, assuming that each group of images contains salient objects of similar visual appearances. We introduce a new benchmark, called CoSOD3k in the wild, which requires a large amount of semantic context.
