SDDGR: Stable Diffusion-based Deep Generative Replay for Class Incremental Object Detection

In the field of class incremental learning (CIL), genera- tive replay has become increasingly prominent as a method to mitigate the catastrophic forgetting, alongside the con- tinuous improvements in generative models. However, its application in class incremental object detection (CIOD) has been significantly limited, primarily due to the com- plexities of scenes involving multiple labels. In this paper, we propose a novel approach called stable diffusion deep generative replay (SDDGR) for CIOD. Our method utilizes a diffusion-based generative model with pre-trained text- to-diffusion networks to generate realistic and diverse syn- thetic images. SDDGR incorporates an iterative refinement strategy to produce high-quality images encompassing old classes. Additionally, we adopt an L2 knowledge distilla- tion technique to improve the retention of prior knowledge in synthetic images. Furthermore, our approach includes pseudo-labeling for old objects within new task images, pre- venting misclassification as background elements. Exten- sive experiments on the COCO 2017 dataset demonstrate that SDDGR significantly outperforms existing algorithms, achieving a new state-of-the-art in various CIOD scenarios. The source code will be made available to the public.

Transformer-based Action recognition in hand-object interacting scenarios

This report describes the 2nd place solution to the ECCV 2022 Human Body, Hands, and Activities (HBHA) from Egocentric and Multi-view Cameras Challenge: Action Recognition. This challenge aims to recognize hand-object interaction in an egocentric view. We propose a framework that estimates keypoints of two hands and an object with a Transformer-based keypoint estimator and recognizes actions based on the estimated keypoints. We achieved a top-1 accuracy of 87.19% on the testset.

Transformer-based Global 3D Hand Pose Estimation in Two Hands Manipulating Objects Scenarios

This report describes our 1st place solution to ECCV 2022 challenge on Human Body, Hands, and Activities (HBHA) from Egocentric and Multi-view Cameras (hand pose estimation). In this challenge, we aim to estimate global 3D hand poses from the input image where two hands and an object are interacting on the egocentric viewpoint. Our proposed method performs end-to-end multi-hand pose estimation via transformer architecture. In particular, our method robustly estimates hand poses in a scenario where two hands interact. Additionally, we propose an algorithm that considers hand scales to robustly estimate the absolute depth. The proposed algorithm works well even when the hand sizes are various for each person. Our method attains 14.4 mm (left) and 15.9 mm (right) errors for each hand in the test set.
