Domain Adaptive Object Detection (DAOD) is a technique aimed at generalizing an object detector trained on labeled source-domain data to a target domain without annotations. The core principle of DAOD is source-target feature alignment. Traditional approaches employ adversarial learning to align the distributions of the source and target domains as a whole, often overlooking the varying significance of distinct regions during feature alignment. To address this, a differential feature alignment strategy is proposed, which includes a prediction-discrepancy feedback instance alignment module (PDFA) and an uncertainty-based foreground-oriented image alignment module (UFOA). PDFA adaptively assigns higher weights to instances with higher teacher-student detection discrepancies, effectively handling domain-specific information. UFOA guides the model to focus more on regions of interest. Extensive experiments on widely-used DAOD datasets demonstrate the efficacy of this method, revealing its superiority over other state-of-the-art alternatives.
