Gaze-DETR uses priority maps for infrared UAV detection

Researchers have developed Gaze-DETR, a novel approach for detecting small, weak targets in infrared imagery, particularly for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). This method incorporates a bio-inspired internal priority map to guide the detection process before localization, addressing challenges like clutter and occlusion. Gaze-DETR utilizes a priority head to predict this map, enhances high-priority features with Residual Priority-Guided Feature Modulation (RPFM), and injects these priorities into decoder queries via Priority-Guided Anchor Query Injection (PAQI). The system demonstrates strong performance on new datasets like TIR-UAV120-Gaze and Anti-UAV410, showing that explicit spatial-priority learning complements traditional bounding-box supervision. AI

    Gaze-DETR: Top-Down Guidance Through Priority Maps for Infrared Weak-Small UAV Detection with DETR

    arXiv:2607.19040v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Infrared small target detection (ISTD) remains challenging because tiny, low-contrast targets are easily overwhelmed by clutter, noise, or occlusion. Conventional single-frame and multi-frame detectors rely on bounding-box supervisi…
