Train, Test, Re-evaluate: Schedule-Sensitive Evaluation of Generative Data for Hand Detection

Atmika Bhardwaj, Silvia Vock, Nico Steckhan

Generated (or synthetic) image data is increasingly used to augment or replace real training datasets when target imagery is scarce, expensive, or biased. For hand detection, parti…

Semantic Robustness Probing via Inpainting: An Interactive Tool for Safety-Critical Object Detection

Nico Steckhan, Krutarth Prajapati, Weija Shao +1

Testing object detectors in safety-critical domains requires semantically meaningful probes beyond pixel-level corruptions. We present SemProbe, a tool for semantic robustness prob…
