Abstract
Camouflaged Object Detection (COD) is a challenging task due to the similarity between camouflaged objects and their backgrounds. Recent approaches predominantly utilize structural cues but often struggle with misinterpretations and noise, particularly for small objects. To address these issues, we propose the Structure-Adaptive Network (SANet), which incrementally supplements structural information from points to surfaces. Our method includes the Key Point Structural Information Prompting Module (KSIP) to enhance point-level structural information, Mixed-Resolution Attention (MRA) to incorporate high-resolution details, and the Structural Adaptation Patch (SAP) to selectively integrate high-resolution patches based on the shape of the camouflaged object. Experimental results on three widely used COD datasets demonstrate that SANet significantly outperforms state-of-the-art methods, achieving more accurate localization and finer edge segmentation, while minimizing background noise. Our code is available at https://github.com/vstar37/SANet/.
期刊介绍:
Image and Vision Computing has as a primary aim the provision of an effective medium of interchange for the results of high quality theoretical and applied research fundamental to all aspects of image interpretation and computer vision. The journal publishes work that proposes new image interpretation and computer vision methodology or addresses the application of such methods to real world scenes. It seeks to strengthen a deeper understanding in the discipline by encouraging the quantitative comparison and performance evaluation of the proposed methodology. The coverage includes: image interpretation, scene modelling, object recognition and tracking, shape analysis, monitoring and surveillance, active vision and robotic systems, SLAM, biologically-inspired computer vision, motion analysis, stereo vision, document image understanding, character and handwritten text recognition, face and gesture recognition, biometrics, vision-based human-computer interaction, human activity and behavior understanding, data fusion from multiple sensor inputs, image databases.
