Abstract(in English) Most of the existing deep learning based logo detection methods typically use a large amount of annotated training data, assuming that the training and test data belong to the same data distribution. Synthesized training images with automatically generated object-level annotations can be a solution to avoid the labor-intensive and time-consuming object annotation task. However, real-world problems limit this assumption and object detectors face domain-shift problems resulting in performance degradation. Here, we address the domain-shift problem in the field of logo detection from synthetic to real images. In this paper, to align the domain gap from synthetic to real image, we propose to use entropy minimization of mid-level output feature maps. We also synthesize training images using various data augmentation methods to perform experiments. Our experiments show that our proposed method improves performance by around 4% mAP compared to direct transfer from source to target domain (synthetic-to-real images) without any labeling cost and increasing network parameters.
