Low-Shot Weakly Supervised Object Detection for Remote Sensing Images via Part Domination-Based Active Learning and Enhanced Fine-Tuning by Peng Liu, Boxue Huang, Tingting Jin, Hui Long

“…In low-shot weakly supervised object detection (LS-WSOD), a small number of strong (instance-level) labels are introduced to a weakly (image-level) annotated dataset, thus balancing annotation costs and model performance. To address issues in LS-WSOD in remote sensing images (RSIs) such as part domination, context confusion, class imbalance, and noise, we propose a novel active learning strategy and an enhanced fine-tuning mechanism. …”
