Custom Object Detection via Multi-Camera Self-Supervised Learning
share
This paper proposes MCSSL, a self-supervised learning approach for building custom object detection models in multi-camera networks. MCSSL associates bounding boxes between cameras with overlapping fields of view by leveraging epipolar geometry and state-of-the-art tracking and reID algorithms, and prudently generates two sets of pseudo-labels to fine-tune backbone and detection networks respectively in an object detection model. To train effectively on pseudo-labels,a powerful reID-like pretext task with consistency loss is constructed for model customization. Our evaluation shows that compared with legacy selftraining methods, MCSSL improves average mAP by 5.44 on WildTrack and CityFlow dataset, respectively.
