VocaDet: Sample-Driven Open-Vocabulary Object Detection and Segmentation via Visual Tokenization and Vector Database Retrieval

- 将图像转为离散视觉词元,存入向量库实现快速检索。
- 在UA-DETRAC上零训练实现开集检测,支持动态新增样本。
- 自动过滤常见背景,提升固定摄像头场景下的效率。
开集目标检测与分割旨在识别预定义类别之外的任意物体。尽管近期基于视觉语言和参考的方法已取得进展,但通常依赖文本提示、有限视觉样本或昂贵的特征匹配,难以扩展至大规模持续增长的物体库。本文提出VocaDet,一种样本驱动的开集检测与分割框架,通过用户提供的正负样本集合直接学习物体概念,无需模型重训练。核心思想是将连续视觉表征转换为离散视觉词汇,并借助可扩展的向量数据库实现高效检索。具体而言,采用DINOv3作为视觉特征提取器,结合自适应聚类敏感度的层次聚类生成多粒度视觉词元。这些视觉词元,连同位置去偏表示和空间拓扑信息,作为可扩展的物体记忆存储于向量数据库中。推理时,查询图像被转化为视觉词元,并与存储的物体记忆进行高效匹配以实现物体定位与分割。此外,引入背景过滤机制,移除频繁出现的背景模式,降低固定摄像头场景中的冗余检索开销。在UA-DETRAC数据集上的实验表明,VocaDet在不进行传统检测器训练的情况下实现了有效的开集检测性能,同时支持随着正负样本积累而持续扩展的识别能力。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Open-vocabulary object detection and segmentation aim to recognize arbitrary objects beyond predefined categories. Although recent vision-language and reference-based approaches have significantly advanced this field, they often rely on text prompts, limited visual examples, or expensive feature matching procedures, making them difficult to scale to large and continuously expanding object repositories. In this work, we propose VocaDet, a sample-driven open-vocabulary object detection and segmentation framework that learns object concepts directly from user-provided positive and negative sample collections without model retraining. The key idea is to transform continuous visual representations into discrete visual vocabularies and perform efficient retrieval-based recognition through a scalable vector database. Specifically, we employ DINOv3 as the visual feature extractor and apply agglomerative clustering with adaptive clustering sensitivity to generate multi-granularity visual tokens. These visual tokens, together with position-debiased representations and spatial topology information, are stored as expandable object memories in a vector database. During inference, query images are converted into visual tokens and efficiently matched against the stored object memories for object localization and segmentation. Furthermore, a background filtering mechanism is introduced to remove frequently occurring background patterns and reduce redundant retrieval operations in practical fixed-camera scenarios. Experiments on the UA-DETRAC dataset demonstrate that VocaDet achieves effective open-vocabulary detection performance without conventional detector training, while supporting continuously expandable recognition capability as additional positive and negative samples are accumulated.
