Background-Free Objectness Learning for Class-Agnostic Detection

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.

WSPolypNet: Weakly Supervised Polyp Localization in Colonoscopy Videos

WSPolypNet is a weakly supervised framework that localizes polyps in colonoscopy videos using only video-level labels, avoiding costly frame-level annotations. It employs a 3D CNN to generate class activation maps, enhances them with a multi-view strategy, and refines the results with MedSAM2 segmentation. The method achieves higher CorLoc scores—up to 47.80% at IoU 0.3—and a recall of 94.51%, especially improving detection of small polyps.
