• Abstract: The task of searching for visual objects in a large image dataset is difficult because it requires efficient matching and accurate localization of objects that can vary in size. Although the segment anything model (SAM) offers a potential solution for extracting object spatial context, learning embeddings for local objects remains a challenging problem. This paper presents a novel unsupervised deep metric learning approach, termed unsupervised collaborative metric learning with mixed-scale groups (MS-UGCML), devised to learn embeddings for objects of varying scales. Following this, a benchmark of challenges is assembled by utilizing COCO 2017 and VOC 2007 datasets to facilitate the training and evaluation of general object retrieval models. Finally, we conduct comprehensive ablation studies and discuss the complexities faced within the domain of general object retrieval. Our object retrieval evaluations span a range of datasets, including BelgaLogos, Visual Genome, LVIS, in addition to a challenging evaluation set that we have individually assembled for open-vocabulary evaluation. These comprehensive evaluations effectively highlight the robustness of our unsupervised MS-UGCML approach, with an object level and image level mAPs improvement of up to 6.69% and 10.03%, respectively. The code is publicly available at https://github.com/dengyuhai/MS-UGCML.

  Existing perception models achieve great success by learning from large amounts of labeled data, but they still struggle with open-world scenarios. We present textiti.e., open-ended object detection, which discovers unseen objects without any object categories as inputs. We show that our method surpasses the previous open-ended method on the object detection task and can provide additional instance segmentation masks.

  We tackle the task of estimating the 3D orientation of previously-unseen objects from monocular images.

Our experiments on the LineMOD, LineMOD-Occluded, and T-LESS datasets show that our method yields a significantly better generalization to unseen objects than previous works.

This simple strategy learns generalizable objectness and outperforms existing proposals on cross-category generalization.

  We study the problem of novel human-object interaction (HOI) detection, aiming at improving the generalization ability of the model to unseen scenarios. The challenge mainly stems from the large compositional space of objects and predicates, which leads to the lack of sufficient training data for all the object-predicate combinations. We propose a unified framework of adversarial domain generalization to learn object-invariant features for predicate prediction.
