[HOI Transfomer] End-to-End Human Object Interaction Detection with HOI Transformer(CVPR. 2021)

1. Motivation

目前现有的HOI（任务交互）领域的方法是one-stage或者two-stage的。

Current approaches either decouple HOI task into separated stages of object detection and interaction classification or introduce surrogate interaction problem.

本文将transformer以端到端的形式应用于human object interaction（HOI）检测工作中。

2. Relation Work

2.1 HOI’s Goal

The goal of HOI detection aims at localizing human and object, as well as recognizing the interaction between them. 如图1所示，分别是之前的one-stage，two-stage方法以及本文提出的end-to-end方法的比较。

2.2 Two-Stage HOI Detection

如Two-stage的方法是将HOI detection分解为了目标检测以及交互分类，确切来说，人和物的目标检测是通过预训练的目标检测器得到的，然后交互分类是通过成对结合的人-物的proposals计算。这会导致子优化问题。因为产生的human-object proposals对于交互分类来说可能是低质量的，同时成对的proposals需要被处理，会造成冗余的计算开销。

The independent optimization on two sub-problems may lead to sub-optimal solution.
