Domain shift-robust object detection with GenAI image editing

The paper investigates using diffusion-based generative image editing to improve object detector robustness against domain shifts, specifically camouflaged military vehicle detection. By synthetically adding foliage, netting, and multi‑spectral camouflage to training data with models such as Qwen Image Edit 2509 and Flux.2 Dev, the authors demonstrate significant mAP gains (up to +20.1 for foliage) over detectors trained on uncamouflaged data. LoRA fine‑tuning further boosts performance for the more challenging multi‑spectral camouflage.

CODE: Cross-Modal Calibration and Dynamic Suppression for Open World Object Detection

CODE: Cross-Modal Calibration and Dynamic Suppression for Open World Object Detection introduces a unified inference-time framework that addresses semantic ambiguity and over-suppression in multimodal OWOD systems. It comprises Cross-Modal Joint Confidence Calibration, Uncertainty-Guided Universal Objectness Enhancement, and Dynamic Outlier Suppression via Confidence Margin. Experiments on the Real-World Detection benchmark with the OWL‑ViT L/14 backbone show CODE achieving 21.7 U‑mAP and 40.8 K‑mAP, surpassing prior state‑of‑the‑art results by 2.6 and 2.3 points respectively.
