NoOVD: Novel Category Discovery and Embedding for Open-Vocabulary Object Detection
Despite the remarkable progress in open-vocabulary object detection (OVD), a significant gap remains between the training and testing phases. During training, the RPN and RoI heads often misclassify unlabeled novel-category objects as background, causing some proposals to be prematurely filtered out by the RPN while others are further misclassified by the RoI head. During testing, these proposals again receive low scores and are removed in post-processing, leading to a significant drop in recall and ultimately weakening novel-category detection performance.To address these issues, we propose a novel training framework-NoOVD-which innovatively integrates a self-distillation mechanism groun...
