Background-Free Objectness Learning for Class-Agnostic Detection

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Aug 29, 2026 · UTC

Object detectors are typically trained under closed-set supervision, where unlabeled regions are implicitly treated as background. Under incomplete annotations, this assumption introduces objectness bias: visually valid but unlabeled objects are used as negatives, tying objectness to the annotated taxonomy rather than generic object structure. This limitation is particularly problematic for class-agnostic and open-world detection. This paper proposes Background-Free Objectness Learning (B-FOR), a dense class-agnostic detection framework that learns objectness without explicit background superv
