• Abstract: Automated detection of Gallbladder Cancer (GBC) from Ultrasound (US) images is an important problem, which has drawn increased interest from researchers. However, most of these works use difficult-to-acquire information such as bounding box annotations or additional US videos. In this paper, we focus on GBC detection using only image-level labels. Such annotation is usually available based on the diagnostic report of a patient, and do not require additional annotation effort from the physicians. However, our analysis reveals that it is difficult to train a standard image classification model for GBC detection. This is due to the low inter-class variance (a malignant region usually occupies only a small portion of a US image), high intra-class variance (due to the US sensor capturing a 2D slice of a 3D object leading to large viewpoint variations), and low training data availability. We posit that even when we have only the image level label, still formulating the problem as object detection (with bounding box output) helps a deep neural network (DNN) model focus on the relevant region of interest. Since no bounding box annotations is available for training, we pose the problem as weakly supervised object detection (WSOD). Motivated by the recent success of transformer models in object detection, we train one such model, DETR, using multi-instance-learning (MIL) with self-supervised instance selection to suit the WSOD task. Our proposed method demonstrates an improvement of AP and detection sensitivity over the SOTA transformer-based and CNN-based WSOD methods. Project page is at https://gbc-iitd.github.io/wsod-gbc

  State-of-the-art 3D object detectors are often trained on massive labeled datasets. Recent works demonstrate that self-supervised pre-training with unlabeled data can improve detection accuracy with limited labels. We propose a shelf-supervised approach for generating zero-shot 3D bounding boxes from paired RGB and LiDAR data.

  We propose a new evaluation metric dubbed Normalized Wasserstein Distance (NWD) and a new RanKing-based Assigning (RKA) strategy for tiny object detection. The proposed NWD-RKA strategy can be easily embedded into all kinds of anchor-based detectors to replace the standard IoU threshold-based one. Tested on four datasets, NWD-RKA can consistently improve tiny object detection performance by a large margin.

  In LiDAR-based 3D object detection for autonomous driving, the ratio of the object size to input scene size is significantly smaller compared to 2D detection cases. Many 3D detectors directly follow the common practice of 2D detectors, which downsample the feature maps even after quantizing the point clouds. We propose Single-stride Sparse Transformer (SST) to maintain the original resolution from the beginning to the end of the network.
