• Abstract: In recent years, object detection has achieved significant progress, especially in the field of open-vocabulary object detection. Unlike traditional methods that rely on predefined categories, open-vocabulary approaches can detect arbitrary objects based on human-provided prompts. With the advancement of prompt-based detection techniques, models such as SAM3 can even outperform some category-specific detectors trained on particular datasets without requiring additional training on those datasets. However, despite these advancements, false positives and false negatives still occur. In practical engineering applications, persistent misdetections or missed detections of the same object are unacceptable. Yet retraining the model every time such errors occur incurs substantial costs in terms of human effort, computational resources, and time. Therefore, how to leverage existing false positive and false negative samples to prevent such errors from recurring remains a highly challenging and urgent problem. To address this issue, we propose EBOD (Example-Based Object Detection), which integrates a prompt-based detector (SAM3) with robust feature matching modules (DINOv3 and LightGlue). The proposed framework effectively suppresses the repeated occurrence of false positives and false negatives by leveraging previous error examples, without requiring additional model retraining.

  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.

  We propose a novel task, called generalized few-shot 3D object detection, where we have a large amount of training data for common (base) objects, but only a few data for rare (novel) classes. Specifically, we analyze in-depth differences between images and point clouds, and then present a practical principle for the few-shot setting in the 3D LiDAR dataset. To solve this task, we propose an incremental fine-tuning method to extend existing 3D detection models to recognize both common and rare objects.
