New framework boosts label-efficient visible-infrared object detection

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a new framework called Aligned Consensus Teacher (ACT) to improve label-efficient oriented object detection in visible-infrared imagery. This method addresses challenges in semi-supervised learning for dual-modality detection, particularly when only a few image pairs are fully labeled. ACT incorporates Cycle-Consistent Region Alignment for robust cross-modal matching, Cross-Modal Consensus Mean-Teacher for generating pseudo-labels, and Text-Guided Cross-Modal Instance Augmentation to address scarcity in tail-class annotations. Experiments on the DroneVehicle and VEDAI datasets demonstrate ACT's effectiveness, achieving significant performance gains even with limited labeled data. AI

IMPACT This research advances semi-supervised learning techniques for dual-modality object detection, potentially reducing annotation costs in real-world applications.

    Aligned Consensus Teaching for Label-Efficient Oriented Object Detection in Weakly-Aligned Visible-Infrared Imagery

    arXiv:2609.18124v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Visible-infrared object detection (VIOD) detects objects with oriented bounding boxes from paired visible and infrared images. Existing methods depend on costly dual-modality annotations. Semi-supervised learning can reduce this bur…
