DENet: Dual-Path Edge Network with Global-Local Attention for Infrared Small Target Detection

  • 分两条路径:全局注意力建模语义,多尺度边缘精修增强细节
  • 在FLIR和IRSTD-1k数据集上,精度提升8.3%与6.7%
  • 适合遥感、安防中低对比度小目标检测任务

红外小目标检测在灾害预警和海上监视等远程感知应用中至关重要。由于缺乏显著纹理和形态特征,红外小目标极易被复杂噪声背景遮蔽。现有方法常依赖固定梯度算子或简单注意力机制,难以在低对比度、高噪声下准确提取目标边缘。本文提出一种新型双路径边缘网络(DENet),将边缘增强与语义建模解耦为两个互补路径。第一路径采用双向交互模块,结合局部自注意力与基于Transformer的全局自注意力,捕捉多尺度上下文依赖,强化场景理解;第二路径引入多边缘精修模块,通过级联泰勒有限差分算子在多尺度上增强细粒度边缘,配合注意力门控机制,实现对不同尺寸目标的精确边缘定位与特征增强,同时有效抑制噪声。该方法在FLIR和IRSTD-1k数据集上分别实现8.3%和6.7%的精度提升,为红外小目标的精确定位提供统一框架。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Infrared small target detection is crucial for remote sensing applications like disaster warning and maritime surveillance. However, due to the lack of distinctive texture and morphological features, infrared small targets are highly susceptible to blending into cluttered and noisy backgrounds. A fundamental challenge in designing deep models for this task lies in the inherent conflict between capturing high-resolution spatial details for minute targets and extracting robust semantic context for larger targets, often leading to feature misalignment and suboptimal performance. Existing methods often rely on fixed gradient operators or simplistic attention mechanisms, which are inadequate for accurately extracting target edges under low contrast and high noise. In this paper, we propose a novel Dual-Path Edge Network that explicitly addresses this challenge by decoupling edge enhancement and semantic modeling into two complementary processing paths. The first path employs a Bidirectional Interaction Module, which uses both Local Self-Attention and Global Self-Attention to capture multi-scale local and global feature dependencies. The global attention mechanism, based on a Transformer architecture, integrates long-range semantic relationships and contextual information, ensuring robust scene understanding. The second path introduces the Multi-Edge Refiner, which enhances fine-grained edge details using cascaded Taylor finite difference operators at multiple scales. This mathematical approach, along with an attention-driven gating mechanism, enables precise edge localization and feature enhancement for targets of varying sizes, while effectively suppressing noise. Our method provides a promising solution for precise infrared small target detection and localization, combining structural semantics and edge refinement in a unified framework.
