This paper addresses the challenge of object detection in open-world scenarios, specifically corner case detection in autonomous driving. Existing detectors rely heavily on visual appearance and struggle with novel classes. The proposed Multimodal-Enhanced Objectness Learner (MENOL) framework reduces the discrepancy between known and unknown classes by leveraging both vision-centric and image-text modalities. MENOL enables class-aware detection through semi-supervised learning, significantly improving recall for novel classes at lower training costs.

In a nutshell, this paper develops an innovative approach to detect objects in new and unexpected situations, like corner cases in autonomous driving. It’s like teaching a machine to recognize things it hasn’t seen before by combining visual and text information. The result is better object detection with fewer labeled examples needed. This could help make self-driving cars safer and more reliable.
