摘要:
RGB与热成像(RGBT)显著性目标检测(SOD)旨在通过利用可见光与热成像图像对的互补信息来实现高质量的显著性预测,这些图像对最初是以未对齐方式捕获的。然而,现有方法专为手动对齐的图像对量身定制,这非常耗费人力,并且将这些方法直接应用于原始未对齐图像对会显著降低其性能。在本文中,我们首次尝试解决无需手动对齐的初始捕获RGB与热成像图像对的RGBT SOD问题。具体而言,我们提出了一个语义引导的非对称相关网络(SACNet),它由两个新颖的组件组成:1)一个非对称相关模块,利用语义引导的注意力来针对未对齐显著区域特有的跨模态相关性进行建模;2)一个关联特征采样模块,根据对应的RGB特征采样相关的热成像特征,以实现多模态特征融合。此外,我们构建了一个名为UVT2000的统一基准数据集,包含直接从各种真实场景中捕获且未进行任何对齐的2000对RGB和热成像图像,以促进无对齐RGBT SOD的研究。在已对齐和未对齐数据集上的大量实验证明了我们方法的有效性和优越性能。数据集和代码可在https://github.com/Angknpng/SACNet获取。
英文摘要:
RGB and Thermal (RGBT) Salient Object Detection (SOD) aims to achieve high-quality saliency prediction by exploiting the complementary information of visible and thermal image pairs, which are initially captured in an unaligned manner. However, existing methods are tailored for manually aligned image pairs, which are labor-intensive, and directly applying these methods to original unaligned image pairs could significantly degrade their performance. In this paper, we make the first attempt to address RGBT SOD for initially captured RGB and thermal image pairs without manual alignment. Specifically, we propose a Semantics-guided Asymmetric Correlation Network (SACNet) that consists of two novel components: 1) an asymmetric correlation module utilizing semantics-guided attention to model cross-modal correlations specific to unaligned salient regions; 2) an associated feature sampling module to sample relevant thermal features according to the corresponding RGB features for multi-modal feature integration. In addition, we construct a unified benchmark dataset called UVT2000, containing 2000 RGB and thermal image pairs directly captured from various real-world scenes without any alignment, to facilitate research on alignment-free RGBT SOD. Extensive experiments on both aligned and unaligned datasets demonstrate the effectiveness and superior performance of our method.
