SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DOMAIN ADAPTIVE OBJECT DETECTION VIA GRADIENT DETACH BASED STACKED COMPLEMENTARY LOSSES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240054775 titled 'SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DOMAIN ADAPTIVE OBJECT DETECTION VIA GRADIENT DETACH BASED STACKED COMPLEMENTARY LOSSES

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a detach strategy to suppress the flow of gradients from context sub-networks through the detection backbone path, resulting in a more discriminative context by forcing the representation of context sub-network to be dissimilar from the detection network.

  • A sub-network generates context information from early layers of the detection backbone.
  • Representations from instance and context should be discrepant as they focus on different parts of an image.
  • A stacked complementary loss is generated and backpropagated to the detection network.

Potential Applications

  • Object detection and recognition systems
  • Image classification algorithms
  • Video analysis and surveillance technologies

Problems Solved

  • Enhances the discriminative power of context information in object detection
  • Improves the accuracy of object recognition in complex scenes

Benefits

  • More accurate object detection and recognition
  • Enhanced performance in challenging visual environments
  • Improved efficiency in processing large amounts of visual data


Original Abstract Submitted

disclosed herein an effective detach strategy which suppresses the flow of gradients from context sub-networks through the detection backbone path to obtain a more discriminative context by forcing the representation of context sub-network to be dissimilar from the detection network. a sub-network is defined to generate the context information from early layers of the detection backbone. because instance and context focus on perceptually different parts of an image, the representations from either of them should also be discrepant. in addition, a stacked complementary loss is generated to and backpropagated to the detection network.
