FewSOL: A Dataset for Few-Shot Object Learning in Robotic Environments
This provides a dataset for studying few-shot object recognition problems in robotic environments, but it is incremental as it focuses on data collection rather than novel methods.
The authors introduced the Few-Shot Object Learning (FewSOL) dataset for object recognition with limited images per object, containing 336 real-world objects with 9 RGB-D images each plus synthetic data, and found that state-of-the-art methods still show large room for improvement in few-shot classification tasks.
We introduce the Few-Shot Object Learning (FewSOL) dataset for object recognition with a few images per object. We captured 336 real-world objects with 9 RGB-D images per object from different views. Object segmentation masks, object poses and object attributes are provided. In addition, synthetic images generated using 330 3D object models are used to augment the dataset. We investigated (i) few-shot object classification and (ii) joint object segmentation and few-shot classification with the state-of-the-art methods for few-shot learning and meta-learning using our dataset. The evaluation results show that there is still a large margin to be improved for few-shot object classification in robotic environments. Our dataset can be used to study a set of few-shot object recognition problems such as classification, detection and segmentation, shape reconstruction, pose estimation, keypoint correspondences and attribute recognition.
