• Authors: Maximilian Menke, Thomas Wenzel, Andreas Schwung
• Abstract summary: AWADA is an Attention-Weighted Adrialversa Domain Adaptation framework for creating a feedback loop between style-transformation and detection task. We show that AWADA reaches state-of-the-art unsupervised domain adaptation object detection performance in the commonly used benchmarks for tasks such as synthetic-to-real, adverse weather and cross-camera adaptation.

• Abstract: Object detection networks have reached an impressive performance level, yet a lack of suitable data in specific applications often limits it in practice. Typically, additional data sources are utilized to support the training task. In these, however, domain gaps between different data sources pose a challenge in deep learning. GAN-based image-to-image style-transfer is commonly applied to shrink the domain gap, but is unstable and decoupled from the object detection task. We propose AWADA, an Attention-Weighted Adversarial Domain Adaptation framework for creating a feedback loop between style-transformation and detection task. By constructing foreground object attention maps from object detector proposals, we focus the transformation on foreground object regions and stabilize style-transfer training. In extensive experiments and ablation studies, we show that AWADA reaches state-of-the-art unsupervised domain adaptation object detection performance in the commonly used benchmarks for tasks such as synthetic-to-real, adverse weather and cross-camera adaptation.

  Unsupervised Domain Adaptation (UDA) is an effective approach to tackle the issue of domain shift. UDA methods try to align the source and target representations to improve the generalization on the target domain. The Source-Free Adaptation Domain (SFDA) setting aims to alleviate these concerns by adapting a source-trained model for the target domain without requiring access to the source data.
