Given a set of images containing objects from the same category, the task of image co-localization is to identify and localize each instance. This paper shows that this problem can be solved by a simple but intriguing idea, that is, a…
TACO is an open image dataset for litter detection and segmentation, which is growing through crowdsourcing. Firstly, this paper describes this dataset and the tools developed to support it. Secondly, we report instance segmentation…
In this paper, we conduct a comprehensive study on the co-salient object detection (CoSOD) problem for images. CoSOD is an emerging and rapidly growing extension of salient object detection (SOD), which aims to detect the co-occurring…
With the rise of deep convolutional neural networks, object detection has achieved prominent advances in past years. However, such prosperity could not camouflage the unsatisfactory situation of Small Object Detection (SOD), one of the…
Detection identifies objects as axis-aligned boxes in an image. Most successful object detectors enumerate a nearly exhaustive list of potential object locations and classify each. This is wasteful, inefficient, and requires additional…
Detection and classification of objects in overhead images are two important and challenging problems in computer vision. Among various research areas in this domain, the task of fine-grained classification of objects in overhead images has…

Intuitive observations show that a baby may inherently possess the capability of recognizing a new visual concept (e.g., chair, dog) by learning from only very few positive instances taught by parent(s) or others, and this recognition…
In this paper, we address the semantic segmentation problem with a focus on the context aggregation strategy. Our motivation is that the label of a pixel is the category of the object that the pixel belongs to. We present a simple yet…
Object detection is a critical part of visual scene understanding. The representation of the object in the detection task has important implications on the efficiency and feasibility of annotation, robustness to occlusion, pose, lighting,…
After learning a new object category from image-level annotations (with no object bounding boxes), humans are remarkably good at precisely localizing those objects. However, building good object localizers (i.e., detectors) currently…
