The primary assumption of conventional supervised learning or classification is that the test samples are drawn from the same distribution as the training samples, which is called closed set learning or classification. In many practical…
Conventional camera-based 3D object detectors in autonomous driving are limited to recognizing a predefined set of objects, which poses a safety risk when encountering novel or unseen objects in real-world scenarios. To address this…
Open world object detection aims at detecting objects that are absent in the object classes of the training data as unknown objects without explicit supervision. Furthermore, the exact classes of the unknown objects must be identified…
Open World Object Detection (OWOD) is a novel computer vision task with a considerable challenge, bridging the gap between classic object detection (OD) benchmarks and real-world object detection. In addition to detecting and classifying…

Deep learning has enabled remarkable advances in scene understanding, particularly in semantic segmentation tasks. Yet, current state of the art approaches are limited to a closed set of classes, and fail when facing novel elements, also…
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…
Most object detectors operate under a closed-world assumption, recognizing only the classes annotated in the training dataset and failing when encountering novel objects. Open-World Object Detection (OWOD) relaxes this assumption by…
Object detection methods trained on a fixed set of known classes struggle to detect objects of unknown classes in the open-world setting. Current fixes involve adding approximate supervision with pseudo-labels corresponding to candidate…
