• Abstract summary: We consider low-shot counting of arbitrary semantic categories in the image using only few annotated exemplars (few-shot) or no exemplars (no-shot) Existing methods extract queries by feature pooling which neglects the shape information (e.g., size and aspect) and leads to a reduced object localization accuracy and count estimates. We propose a Low-shot Object Counting network with iterative prototype Adaptation (LOCA)

• Abstract: We consider low-shot counting of arbitrary semantic categories in the image using only few annotated exemplars (few-shot) or no exemplars (no-shot). The standard few-shot pipeline follows extraction of appearance queries from exemplars and matching them with image features to infer the object counts. Existing methods extract queries by feature pooling which neglects the shape information (e.g., size and aspect) and leads to a reduced object localization accuracy and count estimates. We propose a Low-shot Object Counting network with iterative prototype Adaptation (LOCA). Our main contribution is the new object prototype extraction module, which iteratively fuses the exemplar shape and appearance information with image features. The module is easily adapted to zero-shot scenarios, enabling LOCA to cover the entire spectrum of low-shot counting problems. LOCA outperforms all recent state-of-the-art methods on FSC147 benchmark by 20-30% in RMSE on one-shot and few-shot and achieves state-of-the-art on zero-shot scenarios, while demonstrating better generalization capabilities.

• Zero-Shot Object Counting with Language-Vision Models [50.1159882903028]
  Class-agnostic object counting aims to count object instances of an arbitrary class at test time. Current methods require human-annotated exemplars as inputs which are often unavailable for novel categories. We propose zero-shot object counting (ZSC), a new setting where only the class name is available during test time.

  Few-shot semantic segmentation aims to segment novel-class objects in a query image with only a few annotated examples. Most of advanced solutions exploit a metric learning framework that performs segmentation through matching each pixel to a learned foreground prototype. This framework suffers from biased classification due to incomplete construction of sample pairs with the foreground prototype only.
