We call this \"object transplanting\". Modifying an\nimage in this manner is shown to have a non-local impact on object detection.\nSlight changes in object position can affect its identity according to an\nobject detector as well as that of other objects in the image. We provide some\nanalysis and suggest possible reasons for the reported phenomena.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1808.03305v1","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1808.03305v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"the-elephant-in-the-room","repo_url":"https://github.com/airalcorn2/strike-with-a-pose","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"pytorch","reach":{"status":"ok","spdx":"GPL-3.0"}}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"object","task_name":"Object"},{"task_slug":"object-detection","task_name":"Object Detection"},{"task_slug":null,"task_name":"Position"},{"task_slug":"object-detection-1","task_name":"object-detection"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":"https://app.syntology.ai/?focus=1808.03305","mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
