Few-shot Object Localization

원문 초록

Existing object localization methods are tailored to locate specific classes of objects, relying heavily on abundant labeled data for model optimization. However, acquiring large amounts of labeled data is challenging in many real-world scenarios, significantly limiting the broader application of localization models. To bridge this research gap, this paper defines a novel task named Few-Shot Object Localization (FSOL), which aims to achieve precise localization with limited samples. This task achieves generalized object localization by leveraging a small number of labeled support samples to query the positional information of objects within corresponding images. To advance this field, we design an innovative high-performance baseline model. This model integrates a dual-path feature augmentation module to enhance shape association and gradient differences between supports and query images, alongside a self query module to explore the association between feature maps and query images. Experimental results demonstrate a significant performance improvement of our approach in the FSOL task, establishing an efficient benchmark for further research.
