A Survey of Few-Shot Learning and Its Application in Industrial Object Detection Tasks

Few-shot learning aims to obtain a better deep learning model through training with a smaller amount of data. In recent years, with the development and application of deep learning, deep learning has faced the problem of few-shot in many scenarios. Therefore, the study of few-shot learning will promote the application and deployment of deep learning in the industrial field. First of all, this survey specifically introduces two few-shot learning implementation methods: based on data augmentation and based on transfer learning. Then, this survey lists actual cases to illustrate the application of few-shot learning in industry. One case is about Few-shot parts surface defect detection based on metric learning. Another case is about poultry egg detection in few-shot based on meta learning. Finally, this survey summarizes the research achievements and research value of few-shot learning. Survey summarizes the problems and challenges faced by few-shot learning and the future development direction of few-shot learning.
