However, when processing infrared images characterized by low signal-to-noise ratios and lacking color, texture, and shape information, traditional target recognition networks exhibit limited capabilities in extracting and fusing key features, suffer from poor real-time performance, and require improvement in identifying small infrared targets against complex backgrounds. To address these challenges, this paper proposes the CDH-YOLO network for target detection in UAV infrared remote sensing imagery. First, the backbone architecture of YOLOv8s is redesigned by decomposing context extraction into two steps: region-based and semantic residual extraction. This modular design reduces task complexity; residual connections minimize redundant computations and optimize gradient propagation, thereby enhancing real-time performance for infrared target detection. Second, to address the challenges of blurred contours and difficult shape feature extraction in low-altitude remote sensing infrared images, the Spatial Pyramid Pooling (SPP) module of the backbone network is enhanced. By effectively modeling long-range dependencies in feature maps, the network is guided to focus on target shape information, providing highly discriminative features for subsequent recognition and localization. Finally, the Neck section integrates a lightweight context and spatial feature calibration network. Based on pooling and sampling, it corrects relevant information, enhancing detection accuracy while maintaining real-time performance. Comprehensive comparative experiments were conducted on three mainstream infrared datasets to evaluate model performance. When compared against multiple state-of-the-art object detection models, our proposed CDH-YOLO achieved outstanding results with mAP0.5 scores of 76.5%, 70.5%, and 74.8% on the DroneVehicle, OSIV, and HIT-UAV datasets, respectively.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":13549,"journal":{"name":"Infrared Physics & Technology","volume":"155 ","pages":"Article 106443"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146172872","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, present fusion methods usually cannot effectively handle the problem of illumination degradation in source images, which limits the fusion performance. To address this issue, we introduce a new network architecture called BNFusion, which is designed for infrared and visible image fusion under illumination degradation conditions. Specifically, we first build a joint encoding module that integrates Transformer and CNN. Through the intra-modal and inter-modal feature interaction mechanisms, it achieves deep fusion of local and global features along with cross-modal feature interaction between different domains, so as to fully extraction the features of infrared and visible images. Then, a brightness normalization module is developed to normalize the extracted brightness channel features, thereby effectively eliminating the degradation of fusion quality caused by illumination degradation in visible images during fusion. Secondly, a module for feature compensation is constructed to make up for the loss in feature info induced by normalization, so as to retain the maximum amount of feature information in source images. Finally, a constraint term combining fusion loss, contrastive loss, color loss, and magnitude loss is constructed to train the network for fusion alongside its normalization module, realizing the collaborative optimization of fusion and enhancement. It is worth emphasizing that the entire network is optimized via a two-phase training strategy, thus implicitly solving the problem of degraded fused image quality caused by illumination degradation. Extensive experiments indicate that in comparison with existing image fusion techniques, the method we propose shows notable advantages regarding visual effects and important fusion performance metrics in illumination degraded scenarios, and also delivers good performance in advanced visual tasks.
