contents Few-shot object detection (FSOD) for optical remote sensing images aims to detect rare objects with only a few annotated bounding boxes. The limited training data makes it difficult to represent the data distribution of realistic remote sensing scenes, which results in the notorious overfitting problem. Current researchers have begun to enhance the diversity of few-shot novel instances by leveraging diffusion models to solve the overfitting problem. However, naively increasing the diversity of objects is insufficient, as surrounding contexts also play a crucial role in object detection, and in cases where the object diversity is sufficient, the detector tends to overfit to monotonous contexts. Accordingly, we propose Control Copy-Paste, a controllable diffusion-based method to enhance the performance of FSOD by leveraging diverse contextual information. Specifically, we seamlessly inject a few-shot novel objects into images with diverse contexts by a conditional diffusion model. We also develop an orientation alignment strategy to mitigate the integration distortion caused by varying aspect ratios of instances. Experiments on the public DIOR dataset demonstrate that our method can improve detection performance by an average of 10.76%.
