- 适合做自标注目标检测的工程师和研究者参考。
在交通与运输场景中,目标检测需要大量高质量标注数据,成本高昂。无监督域适应(UDA)成为研究热点,传统方法依赖域对齐,而自标注方法因简单高效备受关注。本文发现自标注方法性能受限的核心原因是训练中存在高比例简单样本(即简单标签偏差)。为此提出De-Simplifying Pseudo Labels(DeSimPL)方法:通过实例级记忆库实现新型伪标签更新策略,并在训练中引入对抗样本以增加复杂样本占比;同时设计自适应加权损失,避免后期因大量误标伪标签导致模型退化。在四个基准数据集上的实验证明,DeSimPL有效降低简单样本比例,显著提升自标注检测器性能,验证了分析与结论的正确性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Despite its significant success, object detection in traffic and transportation scenarios requires time-consuming and laborious efforts in acquiring high-quality labeled data. Therefore, Unsupervised Domain Adaptation (UDA) for object detection has recently gained increasing research attention. UDA for object detection has been dominated by domain alignment methods, which achieve top performance. Recently, self-labeling methods have gained popularity due to their simplicity and efficiency. In this paper, we investigate the limitations that prevent self-labeling detectors from achieving commensurate performance with domain alignment methods. Specifically, we identify the high proportion of simple samples during training, i.e., the simple-label bias, as the central cause. We propose a novel approach called De-Simplifying Pseudo Labels (DeSimPL) to mitigate the issue. DeSimPL utilizes an instance-level memory bank to implement an innovative pseudo label updating strategy. Then, adversarial samples are introduced during training to enhance the proportion. Furthermore, we propose an adaptive weighted loss to avoid the model suffering from an abundance of false positive pseudo labels in the late training period. Experimental results demonstrate that DeSimPL effectively reduces the proportion of simple samples during training, leading to a significant performance improvement for self-labeling detectors. Extensive experiments conducted on four benchmarks validate our analysis and conclusions.
