Review of Cross-Domain Object Detection Algorithms Based on Depth Domain Adaptation

In recent years, the object detection algorithm based on deep learning has attracted wide attention due to its high detection performance. It has been successfully applied in many fields such as automatic driving and human-computer interaction and has achieved certain achievements. However, traditional deep learning methods are based on the assumption that the training set（source domain）and the test set（target domain）follow the same distribution, but this assumption is not realistic, which severely reduces the generalization performance of the model. How to align the distribution of the source domain and the target domain so as to improve the generalization of the object detection model has become a research hotspot in the past two years. This article reviews cross-domain object detection algorithms. First, it introduces the preliminary knowledge of cross-domain object detection：depth domain adaptation and object detection. The cross-domain object detection is decomposed into two small areas for an overview, in order to understand its development from the bottom logic. In turn, this article introduces the latest developments in cross-domain object detection algorithms, from the perspectives of differences, confrontation, reconstruction, hybrid and other five categories, and sorts out the research context of each category. Finally, this article summarizes and looks forward to the development trend of cross-domain object detection algorithms. © 2023 Journal of Computer Engineering and Applications Beijing Co., Ltd.; Science Press.
