FEDEXCHANGE: Bridging the Domain Gap in Federated Object Detection for Free

  • 服务器端动态交换模型,客户端零负担学习多域知识
  • 雨天等复杂环境下平均精度提升1.6倍,资源消耗仅为基线0.8倍
  • 适合边缘设备部署,解决跨域数据异构难题

联邦目标检测(FOD)使客户端可在不共享本地数据的前提下协同训练全局检测模型。然而,环境、天气等域间差异严重影响性能,跨域泛化成为关键挑战。现有方法常忽略边缘设备硬件限制,引入高成本的本地正则化,难以落地。本文提出FEDEXCHANGE框架,通过服务器端动态模型交换策略,在不增加客户端计算开销的前提下,弥合域间差距。具体而言,服务器在聚合轮次正常聚合模型,在交换轮次根据距离度量对本地模型进行聚类并交换,使各客户端模型能间接学习多种域的数据特征。所有操作均在服务端完成,客户端可无额外负担获得跨域性能提升。大量实验表明,该方法在雨天等挑战性场景下平均精度提升1.6倍,同时仅需0.8倍于基线的计算资源。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Federated Object Detection (FOD) enables clients to collaboratively train a global object detection model without accessing their local data from diverse domains. However, significant variations in environment, weather, and other domain specific factors hinder performance, making cross domain generalization a key challenge. Existing FOD methods often overlook the hardware constraints of edge devices and introduce local training regularizations that incur high computational costs, limiting real-world applicability. In this paper, we propose FEDEXCHANGE, a novel FOD framework that bridges domain gaps without introducing additional local computational overhead. FEDEXCHANGE employs a server side dynamic model exchange strategy that enables each client to gain insights from other clients' domain data without direct data sharing. Specifically, FEDEXCHANGE allows the server to alternate between model aggregation and model exchange. During aggregation rounds, the server aggregates all local models as usual. In exchange rounds, FEDEXCHANGE clusters and exchanges local models based on distance measures, allowing local models to learn from a variety of domains. As all operations are performed on the server side, clients can achieve improved cross domain utility without any additional computational overhead. Extensive evaluations demonstrate that FEDEXCHANGE enhances FOD performance, achieving 1.6X better mean average precision in challenging domains, such as rainy conditions, while requiring only 0.8X the computational resources compared to baseline methods.
