• Abstract: Unsupervised object discovery aims to localize objects in images, while removing the dependence on annotations required by most deep learning-based methods. To address this problem, we propose a fully unsupervised, bottom-up approach, for multiple objects discovery. The proposed approach is a two-stage framework. First, instances of object parts are segmented by using the intra-image similarity between self-supervised local features. The second step merges and filters the object parts to form complete object instances. The latter is performed by two CNN models that capture semantic information on objects from the entire dataset. We demonstrate that the pseudo-labels generated by our method provide a better precision-recall trade-off than existing single and multiple objects discovery methods. In particular, we provide state-of-the-art results for both unsupervised class-agnostic object detection and unsupervised image segmentation.

  This paper proposes a video object-centric model for multiple-object tracking pipelines. It consists of an index-merge module that adapts the object-centric slots into detection outputs and an object memory module. Benefited from object-centric learning, we only require sparse detection labels for object localization and feature binding.

  In this work, we take a different approach and propose to look for the background instead. This way, the salient objects emerge as a by-product without any strong assumption on what an object should be. We propose FOUND, a simple model made of a single $conv1times1$ with coarse background masks extracted from self-supervised patch-based representations.

  State-of-the-art deep neural network models require large amounts of labeled data in order to perform well in this task. We propose for the first time, an iterative learning and annotation method that is able to detect, segment and annotate instances in datasets composed of multiple similar objects. Experiments on two different datasets show the validity of the approach in different applications related to visual inspection.
