- 通过选择性令牌策略减少计算量,同时增强低层细节
- 在四个公开数据集上达到领先性能,适合小目标检测场景
红外小目标检测(IRSTD)面临在复杂背景中精确定位微弱目标的固有挑战。现有方法通常采用下采样策略,丢失目标细节,导致性能受限。本文提出Na-IRSTD框架,通过原分辨率特征提取与融合,有效保留微弱目标的细微特征,克服传统红外方法的分辨率限制,显著提升目标定位能力。我们还设计了一种高效的令牌压缩与选择策略,高精度、高置信度地选取目标区域块,在减少原分辨率补丁数量的同时保留关键细节,避免计算负担过重。大量实验表明,该策略在多个公开数据集上表现稳健且有效。最终,所提模型在四个基准测试中均取得当前最优性能。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Infrared small target detection (IRSTD) faces the inherent challenge of precisely localizing dim targets amid complex background clutter. While progress has been made, existing methods usually follow conventional strategies to downsample features and discard small targets' details, resulting in suboptimal performance. In this paper, we present Na-IRSTD, a native-resolution feature extraction and fusion framework for IRSTD. This framework elegantly incorporates native-resolution features to preserve subtle target cues, overcoming the resolution limitations of existing infrared approaches and significantly improving the model's ability to localize small targets. We also introduce an effective token reduction and selection strategy, which selects target patches with high accuracy and confidence, boosting the low-level details of the feature while effectively reducing native-resolution patch tokens compared to dense processing, thereby avoiding imposing an unbearable computational burden. Extensive experiments demonstrate the robustness and effectiveness of our token reduction and selection strategy across multiple public datasets. Ultimately, our Na-IRSTD model achieves state-of-the-art performance on four benchmarks.
