We present a conceptually simple, flexible and general framework for cross-dataset training in object detection. Given two or more already labeled datasets that target for different object classes, cross-dataset training aims to detect the union of the different classes, so that we do not have to label all the classes for all the datasets. By cross-dataset training, existing datasets can be utilized to detect the merged object classes with a single model. Further more, in industrial applications, the object classes usually increase on demand. So when adding new classes, it is quite time-consuming if we label the new classes on all the existing datasets. While using cross-dataset training, we only need to label the new classes on the new dataset. We experiment on PASCAL VOC, COCO, WIDER FACE and WIDER Pedestrian with both solo and cross-dataset settings. Results show that our cross-dataset pipeline can achieve similar impressive performance simultaneously on these datasets compared with training independently.
