Enhancing few-shot object detection through pseudo-label mining

Few-shot object detection involves adapting an existing detector to a set of unseen categories with few annotated examples. This data limitation makes these methods to underperform those trained on large labeled datasets. In many scenarios, there is a high amount of unlabeled data that is never expl...
