This repo is used for recording, tracking, and benchmarking several recent open vocabulary methods to supplement our survey.
If you find any work missing or have any suggestions (papers, implementations, and other resources), feel free to pull requests. We will add the missing papers to this repo as soon as possible.

🔥New

[-] We update GitHub to record the available paper by the end of 2023/7/20.

🔥Highlight!!

[1] The first survey for open vocabulary learning, including open vocabulary detection/segmentation/tracking.

[2] It also contains several related domains, including foundation model tuning and open-world detection.

[3] We list detailed results for the most representative works and give a more fair and clearer comparison of different approaches.

Introduction

This survey presents the first detailed survey on open vocabulary tasks, including open-vocabulary object detection, open-vocabulary segmentation, and 3D/video open-vocabulary tasks.
