Towards Robust Cross-Dataset Object Detection Generalization under Domain Specificity

Ritabrata Chakraborty, Hrishit Mitra, Shivakumara Palaiahnakote +1

Object detectors often perform well in-distribution, yet degrade sharply on a different benchmark. We study cross-dataset object detection (CD-OD) through a lens of setting specifi…
