Progressive Domain Adaptation for Object Detection

Abstract

Recent deep learning methods for object detection rely on a large amount of bounding box annotations. Collecting these annotations is laborious and costly, yet supervised models do not generalize well when testing on images from a different distribution. Domain adaptation provides a solution by adapting existing labels to the target testing data. However, a large gap between domains could make adaptation a challenging task, which leads to unstable training processes and sub-optimal solutions. In this paper, we pro- pose to bridge the domain gap with an intermediate domain and then progressively solve easier adaptation subtasks. Experimental results show that our method performs favorably against the state-of-the-art method in terms of the model test performance on the target domain.
