• Abstract: Identifying potential objects is critical for object recognition and analysis across various computer vision applications. Existing methods typically localize potential objects by relying on exemplar images, predefined categories, or textual descriptions. However, their reliance on image and text prompts often limits flexibility, restricting adaptability in real-world scenarios. In this paper, we introduce a novel Prompt-Free Universal Region Proposal Network (PF-RPN), which identifies potential objects without relying on external prompts. First, the Sparse Image-Aware Adapter (SIA) module performs initial localization of potential objects using a learnable query embedding dynamically updated with visual features. Next, the Cascade Self-Prompt (CSP) module identifies the remaining potential objects by leveraging the self-prompted learnable embedding, autonomously aggregating informative visual features in a cascading manner. Finally, the Centerness-Guided Query Selection (CG-QS) module facilitates the selection of high-quality query embeddings using a centerness scoring network. Our method can be optimized with limited data (e.g., 5% of MS COCO data) and applied directly to various object detection application domains for identifying potential objects without fine-tuning, such as underwater object detection, industrial defect detection, and remote sensing image object detection. Experimental results across 19 datasets validate the effectiveness of our method. Code is available at https://github.com/tangqh03/PF-RPN.

  A convolutional neural network (CNN) for camouflaged object detection tends to activate local discriminative regions while ignoring complete object extent. In this paper, we argue that partial activation is caused by the intrinsic characteristics of CNN. In order to obtain feature maps that could activate full object extent, a novel framework termed Cross-Model Detail Querying network (DQnet) is proposed.

  Convolutional Neural Networks achieve state-of-the-art accuracy in object detection tasks. They have large computational and energy requirements that challenge their deployment on resource-constrained edge devices. In this paper, we leverage the prior knowledge about the probabilities that different object categories can occur jointly to increase the efficiency of object detection models. Our experiments using COCO dataset show that our adaptive object detection model achieves up to 45% reduction in the energy consumption, and up to 27% reduction in the latency, with a small loss in the average precision (AP) of object detection.
