Background-Free Objectness Learning (B-FOR) is a dense, class‑agnostic detection framework that learns objectness without treating unlabeled regions as background. It predicts multi‑scale object‑center and scale fields, using spatially structured soft targets to supervise only reliable annotated areas and introduces displacement‑aware scale fields to model object extent. Experiments on PASCAL VOC, MS‑COCO, and Open Images show B‑FOR improves recall by over +10 AR points compared to prior class‑agnostic baselines, with ablation studies confirming the importance of localized supervision and displacement‑aware scaling.

Open-world object detection (OWOD) requires a detector to recognize known categories, discover unnamed objects from unseen categories, and incrementally learn newly annotated classes. PROB improves unknown discovery by modeling class-agnostic probabilistic objectness in the decoder-query space.
arXiv:2404. 10034v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Weakly Supervised Object Localization (WSOL) allows training deep learning models for classification and localization (LOC) using only global class-level labels.
The paper introduces Structured Prior Knowledge (SPK), a framework that extracts and organizes latent priors from pretrained object detectors to improve out-of-distribution (OoD) detection. SPK uses in-distribution data and hallucination-inducing samples to elicit part-level semantic concepts, then combines these with geometric and contextual priors into a compact five-dimensional representation. Experiments across various detector architectures and OoD benchmarks show that SPK achieves state-of-the-art performance, demonstrating that pretrained detectors encode richer latent knowledge than previously exploited.
