The increase in data collection has made data annotation an interesting and valuable task in the contemporary world. This paper presents a new methodology for quickly annotating data using click-supervision and hierarchical object…
Object detection is a pivotal task in computer vision that has received significant attention in previous years. Nonetheless, the capability of a detector to localise objects out of the training distribution remains unexplored. Whilst…
Co-localization is the problem of localizing objects of the same class using only the set of images that contain them. This is a challenging task because the object detector must be built without negative examples that can lead to more…
In this paper, we address the problem of detecting small, dense, and overlapping objects, a major challenge in computer vision. Our focus is on reviewing proposed methods based on deep learning supervised approaches. We provide a detailed…
Diffusion models excel at photorealistic synthesis but struggle with precise object counts, especially in high-density settings. We introduce COUNTLOOP, a training-free framework that achieves precise instance control through iterative,…
This paper reports a new solution of leveraging temporal classification to support weakly supervised object detection (WSOD). Specifically, we introduce raster scan-order techniques to serialize 2D images into 1D sequence data, and then…
Object localisation, in the context of regular images, often depicts objects like people or cars. In these images, there is typically a relatively small number of objects per class, which usually is manageable to annotate. However, outside…
The status quo approach to training object detectors requires expensive bounding box annotations. Our framework takes a markedly different direction: we transfer tracked object boxes from weakly-labeled videos to weakly-labeled images to…
Human object interaction (HOI) detection is an important task in image understanding and reasoning. It is in a form of HOI triplet <human; verb; object>, requiring bounding boxes for human and object, and action between them for the task…
To learn a reliable people counter from crowd images, head center annotations are normally required. Annotating head centers is however a laborious and tedious process in dense crowds. In this paper, we present an active learning framework…
Knowledge about the locations of keypoints of an object in an image can assist in fine-grained classification and identification tasks, particularly for the case of objects that exhibit large variations in poses that greatly influence their…
We consider low-shot counting of arbitrary semantic categories in the image using only few annotated exemplars (few-shot) or no exemplars (no-shot). The standard few-shot pipeline follows extraction of appearance queries from exemplars and…
Object detectors usually achieve promising results with the supervision of complete instance annotations. However, their performance is far from satisfactory with sparse instance annotations. Most existing methods for sparsely annotated…
The Audio-Visual Video Parsing task aims to identify and temporally localize the events that occur in either or both the audio and visual streams of audible videos. It often performs in a weakly-supervised manner, where only video event…
Continual Learning (CL) aims to learn new data while remembering previously acquired knowledge. In contrast to CL for image classification, CL for Object Detection faces additional challenges such as the missing annotations problem. In this…
We address the problem of weakly supervised object localization where only image-level annotations are available for training object detectors. Numerous methods have been proposed to tackle this problem through mining object proposals.…
We introduce Logical Offline Cycle Consistency Optimization (LOCCO), a scalable, semi-supervised method for training a neural semantic parser. Conceptually, LOCCO can be viewed as a form of self-learning where the semantic parser being…
Despite the importance of unsupervised object detection, to the best of our knowledge, there is no previous work addressing this problem. One main issue, widely known to the community, is that object boundaries derived only from 2D image…
We present a novel vision-language prompt learning approach for few-shot out-of-distribution (OOD) detection. Few-shot OOD detection aims to detect OOD images from classes that are unseen during training using only a few labeled…
Despite significant advances in generic object detection, a persistent performance gap remains for tiny objects compared to normal-scale objects. We demonstrate that tiny objects are highly sensitive to annotation noise, where optimizing…
