• Authors: Simone Caldarella, Elisa Ricci, Rahaf Aljundi,
• Abstract summary: Object-based Novelty Detection (ND) aims to identify unknown objects that do not belong to classes seen during training. Traditional approaches to ND focus on one time offline post processing of the pretrained object detection output. We propose a novel framework for object-based ND, assuming that human feedback can be requested on the predicted output.

• Abstract: Object-based Novelty Detection (ND) aims to identify unknown objects that do not belong to classes seen during training by an object detection model. The task is particularly crucial in real-world applications, as it allows to avoid potentially harmful behaviours, e.g. as in the case of object detection models adopted in a self-driving car or in an autonomous robot. Traditional approaches to ND focus on one time offline post processing of the pretrained object detection output, leaving no possibility to improve the model robustness after training and discarding the abundant amount of out-of-distribution data encountered during deployment. In this work, we propose a novel framework for object-based ND, assuming that human feedback can be requested on the predicted output and later incorporated to refine the ND model without negatively affecting the main object detection performance. This refinement operation is repeated whenever new feedback is available. To tackle this new formulation of the problem for object detection, we propose a lightweight ND module attached on top of a pre-trained object detection model, which is incrementally updated through a feedback loop. We also propose a new benchmark to evaluate methods on this new setting and test extensively our ND approach against baselines, showing increased robustness and a successful incorporation of the received feedback.

  Few-shot object detection (FSOD) methods have emerged as a solution to the limitations of classic object detection approaches. We develop a semi-supervised algorithm to detect and then utilize unlabeled novel objects as positive samples during the FSOD training stage. Our improved hierarchical sampling strategy for the region proposal network (RPN) also boosts the perception of the object detection model for large objects.

  We propose several novel extensions to state-of-the-art methods for monocular object detection from images at long range. Firstly, we propose Sigmoid and ReLU-like encodings when modeling depth estimation as a regression task. Secondly, we frame the depth estimation as a classification problem and introduce a Soft-Argmax function in the calculation of the training loss.

  We propose the Incremental-DETR that does incremental few-shot object detection via fine-tuning and self-supervised learning on the DETR object detector. To alleviate severe over-fitting with few novel class data, we first fine-tune the class-specific components of DETR with self-supervision. We further introduce a incremental few-shot fine-tuning strategy with knowledge distillation on the class-specific components of DETR to encourage the network in detecting novel classes without catastrophic forgetting.

  Occlusion between different objects is a typical challenge in Multi-Object Tracking (MOT) In this paper, we focus on online multi-object tracking and design two novel modules to handle these problems. The proposed unsupervised re-identification learning module does not require any (pseudo) identity information nor suffer from the scalability issue. Our study shows that, when applied to state-of-the-art MOT methods, the proposed unsupervised re-identification learning is comparable to supervised re-identification learning.
