TGA: Two-level Group Attention for Assembly State Detection

12 Oct 2020  ·  Hangfan Liu, Yongzhi Su, Jason Rambach, Alain Pagani ·

Assembly state detection, i.e., object state detection, has a critical meaning in computer vision tasks, especially in AR assisted assembly. Unlike other object detection problems, the visual difference between different object states can be subtle. For the better learning of such subtle appearance difference, we proposed a two-level group attention module (TGA), which consists of inter-group attention and intro-group attention. The relationship between feature groups as well as the representation within each feature group is simultaneously enhanced. We embedded the proposed TGA module in a popular object detector and evaluated it on two new datasets related to object state estimation. The result shows that our proposed attention module outperforms the baseline attention module.
