Researchers have developed ProCal, a novel method for open-vocabulary object detection that calibrates classification scores at inference time. This approach leverages pretrained vision-language models (VLMs) by analyzing their ability to distinguish foreground from background regions. ProCal combines a localization-aware foreground score with a background-aware suppression score to improve the accuracy of object localization and classification for categories not seen during training. When applied to CLIPSelf ViT-L/14, ProCal demonstrated a significant improvement of +2.5 APr on the OV-LVIS dataset. AI
