• Authors: Zhiwei Lin, Zengyu Yang and Yongtao Wang
• Abstract summary: We propose FOReground guidance and MUlti-LAyer feature fusion for unsupervised object discovery, dubbed FORMULA. We present a foreground guidance strategy with an off-the-shelf UOD detector to highlight the foreground regions on the feature maps and then refine object locations in an iterative fashion. To solve the scale variation issues in object detection, we design a multi-layer feature fusion module that aggregates features responding to objects at different scales.

• Abstract: Unsupervised object discovery (UOD) has recently shown encouraging progress with the adoption of pre-trained Transformer features. However, current methods based on Transformers mainly focus on designing the localization head (e.g., seed selection-expansion and normalized cut) and overlook the importance of improving Transformer features. In this work, we handle UOD task from the perspective of feature enhancement and propose FOReground guidance and MUlti-LAyer feature fusion for unsupervised object discovery, dubbed FORMULA. Firstly, we present a foreground guidance strategy with an off-the-shelf UOD detector to highlight the foreground regions on the feature maps and then refine object locations in an iterative fashion. Moreover, to solve the scale variation issues in object detection, we design a multi-layer feature fusion module that aggregates features responding to objects at different scales. The experiments on VOC07, VOC12, and COCO 20k show that the proposed FORMULA achieves new state-of-the-art results on unsupervised object discovery. The code will be released at https://github.com/VDIGPKU/FORMULA.

  This paper proposes PointOBB, the first single Point-based OBB generation method, for oriented object detection. PointOBB operates through the collaborative utilization of three distinctive views: an original view, a resized view, and a rotated/flipped (rot/flp) view. Experimental results on the DIOR-R and DOTA-v1.0 datasets demonstrate that PointOBB achieves promising performance.

  We introduce MSDeAOT, a variant of the AOT framework that incorporates transformers at multiple feature scales. MSDeAOT efficiently propagates object masks from previous frames to the current frame using a feature scale with a stride of 16. We also employ GPM in a more refined feature scale with a stride of 8, leading to improved accuracy in detecting and tracking small objects.

• Feature Shrinkage Pyramid for Camouflaged Object Detection with Transformers [34.42710399235461]
  Vision transformers have recently shown strong global context modeling capabilities in camouflaged object detection. They suffer from two major limitations: less effective locality modeling and insufficient feature aggregation in decoders. We propose a novel transformer-based Feature Shrinkage Pyramid Network (FSPNet), which aims to hierarchically decode locality-enhanced neighboring transformer features.

  This work proposes two novel attention operations as generic hierarchical designs for point-based transformer detectors. First, we propose Multi-Scale Attention (MS-A) that builds multi-scale tokens from a single-scale input feature to enable more fine-grained feature learning. Second, we propose Size-Adaptive Local Attention (Local-A) with adaptive attention regions for localized feature aggregation within bounding box proposals.

  We propose an object-level point augmentor (OPA) that performs local transformations for semi-supervised 3D object detection. In this way, the resultant augmentor is derived to emphasize object instances rather than irrelevant backgrounds. Experiments on the ScanNet and SUN RGB-D datasets show that the proposed OPA performs favorably against the state-of-the-art methods.
