• Abstract summary: We propose ISAR, a benchmark and baseline method for single- and few-shot object identification. We provide a semi-synthetic dataset of video sequences with ground-truth semantic annotations. Our benchmark aligns with the emerging research trend of unifying Multi-Object Tracking, Video Object, and Re-identification.

• Abstract: Most object-level mapping systems in use today make use of an upstream learned object instance segmentation model. If we want to teach them about a new object or segmentation class, we need to build a large dataset and retrain the system. To build spatial AI systems that can quickly be taught about new objects, we need to effectively solve the problem of single-shot object detection, instance segmentation and re-identification. So far there is neither a method fulfilling all of these requirements in unison nor a benchmark that could be used to test such a method. Addressing this, we propose ISAR, a benchmark and baseline method for single- and few-shot object Instance Segmentation And Re-identification, in an effort to accelerate the development of algorithms that can robustly detect, segment, and re-identify objects from a single or a few sparse training examples. We provide a semi-synthetic dataset of video sequences with ground-truth semantic annotations, a standardized evaluation pipeline, and a baseline method. Our benchmark aligns with the emerging research trend of unifying Multi-Object Tracking, Video Object Segmentation, and Re-identification.

  Methods for object detection and segmentation often require abundant instance-level annotations for training, which are time-consuming and expensive to collect. To address this, the task of zero-shot object detection (or segmentation) aims at learning effective methods for identifying and localizing object instances for the categories that have no supervision available. In this work, we extensively study these design choices, and carefully construct a simple yet extremely effective zero-shot recognition method.

  Multiple existing benchmarks involve tracking and segmenting objects in video. There is little interaction between them due to the use of disparate benchmark datasets and metrics. We propose BURST, a dataset which contains thousands of diverse videos with high-quality object masks. All tasks are evaluated using the same data and comparable metrics, which enables researchers to consider them in unison.

  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.
