Spatially-Aware Class-Agnostic Object Counting
Paper • 2607.16826 • Published
Model overview:
The model uses 384 x 384 training crops, a class-token-free
ViT-B/16, intermediate blocks [2, 5, 8, 11], and a 64-channel stride-four
refined feature map. FeatUp-style JBU restores image-aligned detail before the
proposal and verification heads.
Training follows the CounTR-length two-stage FSC-147 schedule, followed by
optional CARPK fine-tuning. Learning rates are linearly scaled as
base_lr * effective_batch_size / 256, with AdamW and cosine decay.
| Stage | Epochs | Batch | Base LR | Single-GPU LR | Warm-up | Weight decay |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| FSC-147 MAE pretraining | 500 | 8 | 1.5e-4 | 4.6875e-6 | 10 | 0.05 |
| FSC-147 counting fine-tuning | 1000 | 26 | 2.0e-4 | 2.03125e-5 | 10 | 0.05 |
| CARPK counting fine-tuning | 1000 | 8 | 2.0e-4 | 6.25e-6 | 10 | 0.05 |
