DAVE -- A Detect-and-Verify Paradigm for Low-Shot Counting

arXiv:2404.16622v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Low-shot counters estimate the number of objects corresponding to a selected category, based on only few or no exemplars annotated in the image. The current state-of-the-art estimates the total counts as the sum over the object location density map, but does not provide individual object locations and sizes, which are crucial for many applications. This is addressed by detection-based counters, which, however fall behind in the total count accuracy. Furthermore, both approaches tend to overestimate …
