Decoupled Motion Representation Learning for Moving Infrared Small Target Detection

- 分离全局背景运动与局部目标异常运动进行建模
- 在复杂动态场景下准确率显著提升,误报率降低
- 适合红外小目标检测、军事监控等实时应用
动态场景中的红外小目标检测因目标、成像平台和背景运动高度耦合而困难。现有多帧方法通常隐式建模时间信息,导致背景动态主导运动对应关系学习,引发检测与误报间的固有权衡。本文观察到背景运动具有强全局一致性,而小目标主要表现为稀疏局部运动异常;多数误报响应与全局一致的运动模式高度吻合,表明其源于背景动态而非真实目标运动。基于此,提出解耦运动表征学习框架:显式运动分支利用预训练光流先验建模全局一致运动,并通过结构保持的自监督适配策略学习红外运动对应;隐式运动分支基于可变形特征对齐,在全局运动引导下捕捉目标敏感的局部运动异常;进一步设计一致运动引导的局部异常推理模块,抑制由一致运动引发的误响应。在两个挑战性红外小目标检测基准上的大量实验表明,该方法在复杂动态场景中持续优于现有最先进方法,同时保持良好推理效率。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Infrared small target detection in dynamic scenes remains challenging due to the highly coupled motions among targets, imaging platforms, and dynamic backgrounds. Existing multi-frame methods usually perform implicit temporal modeling, where coherent background dynamics dominate motion correspondence learning, leading to an inherent trade-off between detection and false alarms. In this work, we observe that background motions exhibit strong global coherence, whereas small targets mainly correspond to sparse local motion anomalies. Moreover, many false-alarm responses maintain high consistency with globally coherent motion patterns, indicating that they mainly originate from coherent background dynamics rather than genuine target motions. Based on these observations, we propose a decoupled motion representation learning framework for moving infrared small target detection. Specifically, an explicit motion branch is introduced to model globally coherent motion dynamics using pretrained optical flow priors, together with a structure-preserving self-supervised adaptation strategy for infrared motion correspondence learning. Meanwhile, an implicit motion branch based on deformable feature alignment is designed to capture target-sensitive local motion anomalies under coherent motion guidance. Furthermore, a coherent-motion-guided local anomaly reasoning module is proposed to identify and suppress coherent-motion-induced false responses during localized motion modeling. Extensive experiments on two challenging infrared small target detection benchmarks demonstrate that the proposed method consistently outperforms existing state-of-the-art approaches, particularly in dynamic scenes with complex motions, while maintaining favorable inference efficiency.
