• Abstract summary: We propose the Prototype Augmented Compact Features framework to regularize the distribution of intra-class features. A mutual regularization strategy is designed to enable the linear and prototype-based classifiers to learn from each other. The results on different adaptation settings are state-of-the-art, which demonstrate the board applicability and effectiveness of the proposed approach.

• Abstract: In recent years, there has been significant advancement in object detection. However, applying off-the-shelf detectors to a new domain leads to significant performance drop, caused by the domain gap. These detectors exhibit higher-variance class-conditional distributions in the target domain than that in the source domain, along with mean shift. To address this problem, we propose the Prototype Augmented Compact Features (PACF) framework to regularize the distribution of intra-class features. Specifically, we provide an in-depth theoretical analysis on the lower bound of the target features-related likelihood and derive the prototype cross entropy loss to further calibrate the distribution of target RoI features. Furthermore, a mutual regularization strategy is designed to enable the linear and prototype-based classifiers to learn from each other, promoting feature compactness while enhancing discriminability. Thanks to this PACF framework, we have obtained a more compact cross-domain feature space, within which the variance of the target features' class-conditional distributions has significantly decreased, and the class-mean shift between the two domains has also been further reduced. The results on different adaptation settings are state-of-the-art, which demonstrate the board applicability and effectiveness of the proposed approach.

  Unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) refers to a domain adaptation framework in which a learning model is trained based on the labeled samples on the source domain and unlabeled ones in the target domain. We propose a novel Conditional Adversarial SUpport ALignment (CASUAL) whose aim is to minimize the conditional symmetric support divergence between the source's and target domain's feature representation distributions.

At the coarse-grained stage, foreground regions are extracted by adopting the attention mechanism, and aligned according to their marginal distributions. At the fine-grained stage, we conduct conditional distribution alignment of foregrounds by minimizing the distance of global prototypes with the same category but from different domains.

Conventional methods forcefully reducing the domain discrepancy in the latent space will result in the destruction of intrinsic data structure. We propose a Bi-Directional Generation domain adaptation model with consistent classifiers interpolating two intermediate domains to bridge source and target domains.
