亮点

• 通过多任务叠加（分类，分割）提高了多物体弱监督检测的正确率
• 通过利用segmentation筛选纯净的proposals，得到了更鲁棒的结果
• 为弱监督分割任务设计比较鲁棒的loss
  • 只考虑全局的分类结果和置信度对高的部分
  • 通过loss的weights关注到最需要关注的部分

相关工作 

 

One of the most common approaches [7] consists of the following steps:

 

• generates object proposals,
• extracts features from the proposals,
• applies multiple instance learning (MIL) to the features and finds the box labels from the weak bag (image) labels. 

弱监督物体检测难点: 弱监督物体检测对初始化要求很高，不好的初始化可能会使网络陷入局部最优解，解决的办法主要有以下几个：

• improve the initialization [31, 9, 28, 29]
• regularizing the optimization strategies [4, 5, 7]
• [17] employ an iterative self-learning strategy to employ harder samples to a small set of initial samples
• [15] use a convex relaxation of soft-max loss 

Majority of the previous works [25, 32] use a large collection of noisy object proposals to train their object detector. In contrast, our method only focuses on a very few clean collection of object proposals that are far more reliable, robust, computationally efficient, and gives better performance

方法

Two-stage: proposal and image classification (conv1 till con5, global pooling) + multiple instance learning (2fc, score layer)

 

 

1. image classification: CNN with global average pooling (GAP) ［36］中引入，将分类过程中fc层的weights作为原来convolutional layer输出的权重并将所有频道加权得到的图作为class activation map。在这一步中，还产生一个分类的loss LGAP

2. multiple instance learning

Proposal: edgeboxs [37] is used to generate an initial set of object proposals. Then we threshold the class activation map [36] to come up with a mask. Finally, we choose the initial boxes with largest overlap with the mask.

 

 

Three-stage:  more information about the objects’ boundary learned in a segmentation task can lead to acquisition of a better appearance model and then better object localization.

• 主要思想：分割监督信号帮助提升定位准确率。
• 弱分割监督信号：上一级得到的mask

 

实验结果

 

PASCAL VOC 2007

• ＋3.3% classification compared with [18]
• +1.6% correct localization compared with [27]
• +0.6% compared with [6]

PASCAL VOC 2010

• +3.3% compared with [6]

PASCAL VOC 2012

• +8.8% compared with [18]
• ILSVRC 2013
• +5.5% compared with [18]

Object detection training

• PASCAL VOC 2007 test set: Faster RCNN trained by the pseudo ground-truth (GT) bounding boxes generated by our cascaded networks performs slightly better than our transfered model. (+0.3%)
