Enhancing few-shot object detection through pseudo-label mining

Few-shot object detection involves adapting an existing detector to a set of unseen categories with few annotated examples. This data limitation makes these methods to underperform those trained on large labeled datasets. In many scenarios, there is a high amount of unlabeled data that is never expl...

description Few-shot object detection involves adapting an existing detector to a set of unseen categories with few annotated examples. This data limitation makes these methods to underperform those trained on large labeled datasets. In many scenarios, there is a high amount of unlabeled data that is never exploited. Thus, we propose to exPAND the initial novel set by mining pseudo-labels. From a raw set of detections, xPAND obtains reliable pseudo-labels suitable for training any detector. To this end, we propose two new modules: Class and Box confirmation. Class Confirmation aims to remove misclassified pseudo-labels by comparing candidates with expected class prototypes.
