Pseudo-Label Generation-Evaluation Framework For Cross Domain Weakly Supervised Object Detection

원문 초록

Cross domain weakly supervised object detection (CDWSOD), where we can get access to instance-level annotations in the source domain while only image-level annotations are available in the target domain, adapts object detectors from label-rich to label-poor domains. It usually generates pseudo labels in the target domain and utilize them to finetune the detector pretrained in the source domain. In this paper, we propose a new pseudo-label generation-evaluation framework for CDWSOD task. In particular, an evaluator is introduced for the generated pseudo labels in the target domain and the transferring process involves two players: the detector to generate instance-level pseudo labels and the evaluator to judge the quality of pseudo labels. Only high-quality pseudo labels selected by the evaluator are utilized to finetune the detector. Experiments on three representative datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of our framework in various domains.
