1st Place Solution for ECCV 2022 OOD-CV Challenge Image Classification Track
This addresses domain shift problems in computer vision, but it is incremental as it builds on existing noisy label learning and adaptation methods.
The paper tackled out-of-distribution generalization in image classification by combining domain generalization pre-training with test-time adaptation, achieving first place in the ECCV 2022 OOD-CV Challenge.
OOD-CV challenge is an out-of-distribution generalization task. In this challenge, our core solution can be summarized as that Noisy Label Learning Is A Strong Test-Time Domain Adaptation Optimizer. Briefly speaking, our main pipeline can be divided into two stages, a pre-training stage for domain generalization and a test-time training stage for domain adaptation. We only exploit labeled source data in the pre-training stage and only exploit unlabeled target data in the test-time training stage. In the pre-training stage, we propose a simple yet effective Mask-Level Copy-Paste data augmentation strategy to enhance out-of-distribution generalization ability so as to resist shape, pose, context, texture, occlusion, and weather domain shifts in this challenge. In the test-time training stage, we use the pre-trained model to assign noisy label for the unlabeled target data, and propose a Label-Periodically-Updated DivideMix method for noisy label learning. After integrating Test-Time Augmentation and Model Ensemble strategies, our solution ranks the first place on the Image Classification Leaderboard of the OOD-CV Challenge.
