New framework uses open-vocabulary models for efficient, uncertainty-aware object detection annotation

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a semi-supervised framework to reduce the manual annotation effort required for object detection datasets. This method utilizes open-vocabulary models to generate object representations and then employs a graph-based label propagation algorithm to assign soft labels to unlabeled objects. The framework quantifies both aleatoric and epistemic uncertainty, and evaluations on benchmarks like COCO show that detectors trained on this semi-automatically annotated data achieve performance comparable to those trained on fully manually annotated data, at a fraction of the cost. AI

IMPACT This approach could significantly reduce the cost and time associated with creating large-scale annotated datasets for computer vision tasks.

    Open-Vocabulary Models and Label Propagation for Uncertainty-aware Pseudo-Labeling of Object Detection Datasets

    arXiv:2610.29788v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Object detection models rely on large-scale annotated datasets that require substantial manual annotation effort. The labeling costs further increase when annotation uncertainty is captured through soft labels, as multiple annotatio…
