Abstract | We explore object detection with two attributes: color and material. This task aims to simultaneously detect objects and infer their color and material. A straight-forward approach is to add attribute heads at the very end of a usual object detection pipeline. However, we observe that the two goals are in conflict: Object detection should be attribute-independent and attributes be largely object-independent. Features computed by a standard detection network entangle the category and attribute features; we disentangle them by the use of a two-stream model where the category and attribute features are computed independently but the classification heads share Regions of Interest (RoIs). Compared with a traditional single-stream model, our model shows significant improvements over VG-20, a subset of Visual Genome, on both supervised and attribute transfer tasks. |
