Class-Agnostic Counting (CAC) seeks to accurately count objects in a given image with only a few reference examples. While previous methods achieving this relied on additional training, recent efforts have shown that it's possible to…
Class-Agnostic object Counting (CAC) involves counting instances of objects from arbitrary classes within an image. Due to its practical importance, CAC has received increasing attention in recent years. Most existing methods assume a…
Class-agnostic counting (CAC) aims to count objects of interest from a query image given few exemplars. This task is typically addressed by extracting the features of query image and exemplars respectively and then matching their feature…
Class-agnostic counting (CAC) aims to count all instances in a query image given few exemplars. A standard pipeline is to extract visual features from exemplars and match them with query images to infer object counts. Two essential…
Visual object counting has recently shifted towards class-agnostic counting (CAC), which addresses the challenge of counting objects across arbitrary categories, a crucial capability for flexible and generalizable counting systems. Unlike…
Current class-agnostic counting methods can generalise to unseen classes but usually require reference images to define the type of object to be counted, as well as instance annotations during training. Reference-less class-agnostic…
Class-agnostic counting (CAC) has numerous potential applications across various domains. The goal is to count objects of an arbitrary category during testing, based on only a few annotated exemplars. In this paper, we point out that the…
Recently, Class-Agnostic Counting (CAC) problem has garnered increasing attention owing to its intriguing generality and superior efficiency compared to Category-Specific Counting (CSC). This paper proposes a novel ExpressCount to enhance…
Class-agnostic counting (CAC) methods reduce annotation costs by letting users define what to count at test-time through text or visual exemplars. However, current open-vocabulary approaches work well for broad categories but fail when…
In the era of foundation models, CLIP has emerged as a powerful tool for aligning text & visual modalities into a common embedding space. However, the alignment objective used to train CLIP often results in subpar visual features for…
We tackle the task of Class Agnostic Counting, which aims to count objects in a novel object category at test time without any access to labeled training data for that category. All previous class agnostic counting methods cannot work in a…
Considering the abundance of unlabeled speech data and the high labeling costs, unsupervised learning methods can be essential for better system development. One of the most successful methods is contrastive self-supervised methods, which…
Class-agnostic counting methods enumerate objects of an arbitrary class, providing tremendous utility in many fields. Prior works have limited usefulness as they require either a set of examples of the type to be counted or that the query…
Humans can often count unfamiliar objects by observing visual repetition and composition, rather than relying only on object categories. However, many exemplar-free counting models struggle in such situations and may overcount when objects…
The class-agnostic counting (CAC) problem has caught increasing attention recently due to its wide societal applications and arduous challenges. To count objects of different categories, existing approaches rely on user-provided exemplars,…
