A Few-Shot Sequential Approach for Object Counting
In this work, we address the problem of few-shot multi-class object counting with point-level annotations. The proposed technique leverages a class agnostic attention mechanism that sequentially attends to objects in the image and extracts their relevant features. This process is employed on an adapted prototypical-based few-shot approach that uses the extracted features to classify each one either as one of the classes present in the support set images or as background. The proposed technique is trained on point-level annotations and uses a novel loss function that disentangles class-dependent and class-agnostic aspects of the model to help with the task of few-shot object counting. We present our results on a variety of object-counting/detection datasets, including FSOD and MS COCO. In addition, we introduce a new dataset that is specifically designed for weakly supervised multi-class object counting/detection and contains considerably different classes and distribution of number of classes/instances per image compared to the existing datasets. We demonstrate the robustness of our approach by testing our system on a totally different distribution of classes from what it has been trained on.

VLCounter: Text-aware Visual Representation for Zero-Shot Object Counting
Zero-Shot Object Counting (ZSOC) aims to count referred instances of arbitrary classes in a query image without human-annotated exemplars. To deal with ZSOC, preceding studies proposed a two-stage pipeline: discovering e…

Zero-shot counting is a subcategory of Generic Visual Object Counting, which aims to count objects from an arbitrary class in a given image. While few-shot counting relies on delivering exemplars to the model to count si…

We tackle a new task of few-shot object counting and detection. Given a few exemplar bounding boxes of a target object class, we seek to count and detect all objects of the target class. This task shares the same supervi…
