Existing multi-dataset detection works mainly focus on the performance of detector on each of the datasets, with different label spaces. However, in real-world applications, a unified label space across multiple datasets is usually required. To address such a gap, we propose a progressive pseudo labeling (PPL) approach to detect objects across different datasets, over a unified label space. Specifically, we employ the widely used architecture of teacher-student model pair to jointly refine pseudo labels and train the unified object detector. The student model learns from both annotated labels and pseudo labels from the teacher model, which is updated by the exponential moving average (EMA) of the student. Three modules, i.e. Entropy-guided Adaptive Threshold (EAT), Global Classification Module (GCM) and Scene-Aware Fusion (SAF) strategy, are proposed to handle the noise of pseudo labels and fit the overall distribution. Extensive experiments are conducted on different multi-dataset benchmarks. The results demonstrate that our proposed method significantly outperforms the State-of-the-Art and is even comparable with supervised methods trained using annotations of all labels.

Siamese-based trackers have achieved excellent performance on visual object tracking. However, the target template is not updated online, and the features of target template and search image are computed independently in a Siamese architecture. In this paper, we propose Deformable Siamese Attention Networks, referred to as SiamAttn, by introducing a new Siamese attention mechanism that computes deformable self-attention and cross-attention. The self-attention learns strong context information via spatial attention, and selectively emphasizes interdependent channel-wise features with channel attention. The crossattention is capable of aggregating rich contextual interdependencies between the target template and the search image, providing an implicit manner to adaptively update the target template. In addition, we design a region refinement module that computes depth-wise cross correlations between the attentional features for more accurate tracking. We conduct experiments on six benchmarks, where our method achieves new state-of-the-art results, outperforming recent strong baseline, SiamRPN++, by 0.464 to 0.537 and 0.415 to 0.470 EAO on VOT 2016 and 2018.
