Datasets

Most few-shot object detection papers usually follow the experimental setup in 《Meta R-CNN : Towards General Solver for Instance-level Low-shot Learning》 and 《Few-shot Object Detection via Feature Reweighting》 and conduct experiments on PASCAL VOC and MS COCO datasets.

PASCAL VOC

For Pascal VOC, the model is trained on the trainval sets of VOC 2007 and 2012, and tested on VOC 2007 test set. The dataset is partitioned into three base/novel splits, where 5 categories are selected as novel classes and others are base classes. The novel classes in each split are as follows:

Split	Novel Class
1	bird, bus, cow, mbike, sofa
2	aero, bottle, cow, horse, sofa
3	boat, cat, mbike, sheep, sofa

MS COCO

MS COCO with 80 object categories including the 20 categories in PASCAL VOC. The 20 classes included in PASCAL VOC are set as novel classes, then the rest 60 classes in COCO are as base classes. The union of 80k train images and a 35k subset of validation images (trainval35k) are used for training, and the evaluation is based on the remaining 5k val images (minival).
