Symmetrization Weighted Binary Cross-Entropy: Modeling Perceptual Asymmetry for Human-Consistent Neural Edge Detection

  • 引入对称加权二元交叉熵,模拟人类对边缘的感知不对称性。
  • 在多个数据集上显著提升边缘清晰度,SSIM最高提升15%。
  • 适合需要高视觉一致性的边缘检测任务,如自动驾驶、医学图像分析。

边缘检测是计算机视觉中的基础感知过程,为分割、识别和场景理解等高层任务提供结构基础。尽管深度神经网络取得了显著进展,大多数边缘检测模型虽有较高的数值精度,却难以生成视觉清晰且与人类感知一致的边缘,限制了其在智能视觉系统中的可靠性。为此,本文提出对称化加权二元交叉熵(SWBCE)损失,一种受人类感知启发的改进方法,在传统WBCE基础上引入预测引导的对称性建模。SWBCE显式刻画人类边缘识别中的感知不对称性:判断为边缘需比非边缘更强的证据,使优化过程更贴近人类感知辨别能力。该对称学习机制同时提升边缘召回率并抑制误检,实现定量准确性和感知保真度的更好平衡。在多个基准数据集和代表性边缘检测架构上的大量实验表明,SWBCE在数值评估和视觉质量上均优于现有损失函数。尤其在HED-EES模型上,于BRIND数据集上SSIM提升约15%,且所有实验中采用SWBCE训练均获得最佳视觉效果。该感知损失还可推广至软计算与神经学习系统,尤其适用于依赖非对称感知推理的场景。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Edge detection (ED) is a fundamental perceptual process in computer vision, forming the structural basis for high-level reasoning tasks such as segmentation, recognition, and scene understanding. Despite substantial progress achieved by deep neural networks, most ED models attain high numerical accuracy but fail to produce visually sharp and perceptually consistent edges, thereby limiting their reliability in intelligent vision systems. To address this issue, this study introduces the Symmetrization Weighted Binary Cross-Entropy (SWBCE) loss, a perception-inspired formulation that extends the conventional WBCE by incorporating prediction-guided symmetry. SWBCE explicitly models the perceptual asymmetry in human edge recognition, wherein edge decisions require stronger evidence than non-edge ones, aligning the optimization process with human perceptual discrimination. The resulting symmetric learning mechanism jointly enhances edge recall and suppresses false positives, achieving a superior balance between quantitative accuracy and perceptual fidelity. Extensive experiments across multiple benchmark datasets and representative ED architectures demonstrate that SWBCE can outperform existing loss functions in both numerical evaluation and visual quality. Particularly with the HED-EES model, the SSIM can be improved by about 15% on BRIND, and in all experiments, training by SWBCE consistently obtains the best perceptual results. Beyond edge detection, the proposed perceptual loss offers a generalizable optimization principle for soft computing and neural learning systems, particularly in scenarios where asymmetric perceptual reasoning plays a critical role.
