Researchers have developed a novel method called Hotspot-Anchored Label Optimization (HALO) to improve infrared small target detection (IRSTD). This technique addresses the challenge of noisy and uncertain pixel-level annotations by constructing stable soft supervision from bounding boxes. HALO localizes a radiometric anchor within each box and synthesizes a Physically Anchored Gaussian (PAG) soft label, which is decoupled from the detector backbone and requires no online updates. Experiments demonstrate HALO's competitiveness with existing methods under standard conditions and superior robustness with looser or shifted box annotations, which better reflect real-world scenarios.
