Seeing Through the Noise: Improving Infrared Small Target Detection and Segmentation from Noise Suppression Perspective
- 通过频域分析,设计噪声抑制型特征金字塔网络
- 在两个数据集上显著降低误报率并提升检测性能
- 轻量结构可嵌入现有框架,适合军事与安防场景
红外小目标检测与分割(IRSTDS)在国防与民用领域至关重要,但因目标微弱、无明确形状且背景杂乱而极具挑战。近年基于CNN的方法虽提升了特征表示能力,却仅关注增强特征而忽视噪声影响,导致误报增多。本文从频域视角出发,首次提出从噪声抑制角度改进性能的新型噪声抑制特征金字塔网络(NS-FPN),将低频引导特征净化(LFP)模块与螺旋感知特征采样(SFS)模块融入原有FPN结构。LFP模块通过净化高频成分抑制噪声特征,实现无干扰的特征增强;SFS模块则采用螺旋采样融合目标相关特征。所提NS-FPN轻量高效,可无缝集成至现有IRSTDS框架。在IRSTD-1k和NUAA-SIRST数据集上的大量实验表明,该方法显著降低误报率,全面优于现有方法。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Infrared small target detection and segmentation (IRSTDS) is a critical yet challenging task in defense and civilian applications, owing to the dim, shapeless appearance of targets and severe background clutter. Recent CNN-based methods have achieved promising target perception results, but they only focus on enhancing feature representation to offset the impact of noise, which results in the increased false alarm problem. In this paper, through analyzing the problem from the frequency domain, we pioneer in improving performance from noise suppression perspective and propose a novel noise-suppression feature pyramid network (NS-FPN), which integrates a low-frequency guided feature purification (LFP) module and a spiral-aware feature sampling (SFS) module into the original FPN structure. The LFP module suppresses the noise features by purifying high-frequency components to achieve feature enhancement devoid of noise interference, while the SFS module further adopts spiral sampling to fuse target-relevant features in feature fusion process. Our NS-FPN is designed to be lightweight yet effective and can be easily plugged into existing IRSTDS frameworks. Extensive experiments on the IRSTD-1k and NUAA-SIRST datasets demonstrate that our method significantly reduces false alarms and achieves superior performance on IRSTDS task.
