Few-shot object detection aims to detect instances of specific categories in a query image with only a handful of support samples. Although this takes less effort than obtaining enough annotated images for supervised object detection, it results in a far inferior performance compared to the conventional object detection methods. In this paper, we propose a meta-learning-based approach that considers the unique characteristics of each support sample. Rather than simply averaging the information of the support samples to generate a single prototype per category, our method can better utilize the information of each support sample by treating each support sample as an individual prototype. Specifically, we introduce two types of attention mechanisms for aggregating the query and support feature maps. The first is to refine the information of few-shot samples by extracting shared information between the support samples through attention. Second, each support sample is used as a class code to leverage the information by comparing similarities between each support feature and query features. Our proposed method is complementary to the previous methods, making it easy to plug and play for further improvement. We have evaluated our method on PASCAL VOC and COCO benchmarks, and the results verify the effectiveness of our method. In particular, the advantages of our method are maximized when there is more diversity among support data.

Few-shot object detection (FSOD) aims to strengthen the performance of novel object detection with few labeled samples. To alleviate the constraint of few samples, enhancing the generalization ability of learned features for novel objects plays a key
role. Thus, the feature learning process of FSOD should focus more on intrinsical object characteristics, which are invariant under different visual changes and therefore are helpful for feature generalization. Unlike previous attempts of the meta-learning paradigm, in this paper, we explore how to enhance object features with intrinsical characteristics that are universal across different object categories. We propose a new prototype, namely universal prototype, that is learned from all object categories. Besides the advantage of characterizing invariant characteristics, the universal prototypes alleviate the impact of unbalanced object categories. After enhancing object features with the universal prototypes, we impose a consistency loss to maximize the agreement between the enhanced features and the original ones, which is beneficial for learning invariant object characteristics. Thus, we develop a new framework of few-shot object detection with universal prototypes ({FSOD}^{up}) that owns the merit of feature generalization towards novel objects. Experimental results on PASCAL VOC and MS COCO show the effectiveness of {FSOD}^{up}. Particularly, for the 1-shot case of VOC Split2, {FSOD}^{up} outperforms the baseline by 6.8% in terms of mAP.
We introduce Few-Shot Video Object Detection (FSVOD) with three important contributions: 1) a large-scale video dataset FSVOD-500 comprising of 500 classes with class-balanced videos in each category for few-shot learning; 2) a novel Tube Proposal Ne
twork (TPN) to generate high-quality video tube proposals to aggregate feature representation for the target video object; 3) a strategically improved Temporal Matching Network (TMN+) to match representative query tube features and supports with better discriminative ability. Our TPN and TMN+ are jointly and end-to-end trained. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our method produces significantly better detection results on two few-shot video object detection datasets compared to image-based methods and other naive video-based extensions. Codes and datasets will be released at https://github.com/fanq15/FewX.
Learning to detect novel objects from few annotated examples is of great practical importance. A particularly challenging yet common regime occurs when there are extremely limited examples (less than three). One critical factor in improving few-shot
detection is to address the lack of variation in training data. We propose to build a better model of variation for novel classes by transferring the shared within-class variation from base classes. To this end, we introduce a hallucinator network that learns to generate additional, useful training examples in the region of interest (RoI) feature space, and incorporate it into a modern object detection model. Our approach yields significant performance improvements on two state-of-the-art few-shot detectors with different proposal generation procedures. In particular, we achieve new state of the art in the extremely-few-shot regime on the challenging COCO benchmark.
Conventional detection networks usually need abundant labeled training samples, while humans can learn new concepts incrementally with just a few examples. This paper focuses on a more challenging but realistic class-incremental few-shot object detec
tion problem (iFSD). It aims to incrementally transfer the model for novel objects from only a few annotated samples without catastrophically forgetting the previously learned ones. To tackle this problem, we propose a novel method LEAST, which can transfer with Less forgetting, fEwer training resources, And Stronger Transfer capability. Specifically, we first present the transfer strategy to reduce unnecessary weight adaptation and improve the transfer capability for iFSD. On this basis, we then integrate the knowledge distillation technique using a less resource-consuming approach to alleviate forgetting and propose a novel clustering-based exemplar selection process to preserve more discriminative features previously learned. Being a generic and effective method, LEAST can largely improve the iFSD performance on various benchmarks.
Learning to detect an object in an image from very few training examples - few-shot object detection - is challenging, because the classifier that sees proposal boxes has very little training data. A particularly challenging training regime occurs wh
en there are one or two training examples. In this case, if the region proposal network (RPN) misses even one high intersection-over-union (IOU) training box, the classifiers model of how object appearance varies can be severely impacted. We use multiple distinct yet cooperating RPNs. Our RPNs are trained to be different, but not too different; doing so yields significant performance improvements over state of the art for COCO and PASCAL VOC in the very few-shot setting. This effect appears to be independent of the choice of classifier or dataset.
