Domain Adaptive Object Detection via Dual-Stream Bilevel-Cycle Optimization

Cycle self-training (CST) breaks the shared classifier assumption of the standard self-training framework, which is effective for unsupervised domain adaptation and exploits unlabeled target data by training with target pseudo-labels. CST introduces a target classifier and employs an inner-outer loop updating strategy, addressing the issue of unreliable pseudo-labels and enabling pseudo-labels to generalize across domains. Despite its success in image classification, extending CST to object detection faces three main challenges. First, the upper bound of CST in object detection is constrained by three types of unreliable pseudo-labels, such as classification error alone, localization error alone, and their combination. Second, since object detection involves detecting multiple target objects, directly applying CST leads to training insta bility. Third, a wider numerical range of regression coordinates leads to exploding losses. To this end, we apply CST to both classification and regression and propose the Dual-Stream Bilevel-Cycle Optimization framework. Specifically, we construct CST upon Mean Teacher to prevent training instability and use extra normalization to map the regression bounding box into a standardized space, effectively addressing exploding losses. Also, we provide a theoretical derivation of the regression bound. Extensive experiments across four cross domain standard scenarios demonstrate that our framework achieves considerable results.
