• Abstract: Curating an informative and representative dataset is essential for enhancing the performance of 2D object detectors. We present a novel active learning sampling strategy that addresses both the informativeness and diversity of the selections. Our strategy integrates uncertainty and diversity-based selection principles into a joint selection objective by measuring the collective information score of the selected samples. Specifically, our proposed NORIS algorithm quantifies the impact of training with a sample on the informativeness of other similar samples. By exclusively selecting samples that are simultaneously informative and distant from other highly informative samples, we effectively avoid redundancy while maintaining a high level of informativeness. Moreover, instead of utilizing whole image features to calculate distances between samples, we leverage features extracted from detected object regions within images to define object features. This allows us to construct a dataset encompassing diverse object types, shapes, and angles. Extensive experiments on object detection and image classification tasks demonstrate the effectiveness of our strategy over the state-of-the-art baselines. Specifically, our selection strategy achieves a 20% and 30% reduction in labeling costs compared to random selection for PASCAL-VOC and KITTI, respectively.

• Uncertainty Aware Active Learning for Reconfiguration of Pre-trained Deep Object-Detection Networks for New Target Domains [0.0]
  Object detection is one of the most important and fundamental aspects of computer vision tasks. To obtain training data for object detection model efficiently, many datasets opt to obtain their unannotated data in video format. Annotating every frame from a video is costly and inefficient since many frames contain very similar information for the model to learn from. In this paper, we proposed a novel active learning algorithm for object detection models to tackle this problem.
