Resembling the rapid learning capability of human, lowshot learning empowers vision systems to understand new concepts by training with few samples. Leading approaches derived from meta-learning on images with a single visual object. Obfuscated by a complex background and multiple objects in one image, they are hard to promote the research of low-shot object detection/segmentation. In this work, we present a flexible and general methodology to achieve these tasks. Our work extends Faster /Mask R-CNN by proposing meta-learning over RoI (Region-of-Interest) features instead of a full image feature. This simple spirit disentangles multi-object information merged with the background, without bells and whistles, enabling Faster /Mask R-CNN turn into a meta-learner to achieve the tasks. Specifically, we introduce a Predictor-head Remodeling Network (PRN) that shares its main backbone with Faster /Mask R-CNN. PRN receives images containing low-shot objects with their bounding boxes or masks to infer their class attentive vectors. The vectors take channel-wise soft-attention on RoI features, remodeling those R-CNN predictor heads to detect or segment the objects that are consistent with the classes these vectors represent. In our experiments, Meta R-CNN yields the stateof theart inlow-shot object detection and improves low-shot object segmentation by Mask R-CNN.Code: https://yanxp.github.io/metarcnn.html. * indicate equal contribution (Xiaopeng Yan and Ziliang Chen). † indicates corresponding author: Liang Lin.
