When training an anchor-based object detector with a sparsely annotated dataset, the effort required to locate positive examples can cause performance degradation. Because anchorbased object detection models collect positive examples under IoU between anchors and ground-truth bounding boxes, in a sparsely annotated image, some objects that are not annotated can be assigned as negative examples, such as backgrounds. We attempt to solve this problem with two approaches: 1) using an anchor-less object detector and 2) using a single-object tracker for semi-supervised learning-based object detection. The proposed technique performs bidirectional single-object tracking from sparsely annotated bounding boxes as starting points in videos to obtain dense annotations. On applying our method to the EPIC-KITCHENS-55 dataset, we were able to achieve runner-up performance in the Unseen section, while achieving the first place in the Seen section of the EPIC-KITCHENS 2020 object detection challenge under IoU > 0.5 on the EPIC-KITCHENS 2020 object detection challenge.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
