New RGBT object detection method ProtoHGF-Net uses prototype-level fusion

Researchers have introduced ProtoHGF-Net, a new framework for RGB-Thermal (RGBT) object detection that shifts from dense cross-modal feature interaction to a more selective prototype-level semantic interaction. This approach aims to improve the learning of target-relevant representations by fusing information in a compact prototype space. The system also incorporates Teacher-Mask Calibration Distillation to suppress background noise and focus on target features, achieving state-of-the-art results on datasets like DroneVehicle, DVTOD, and FLIR.

    ProtoHGF-Net: Prototype HyperGraph Fusion with Intra-modal Calibration for RGBT Object Detection

    arXiv:2608.11595v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: RGB-Thermal (RGBT) object detection enables robust perception in complex scenes by leveraging the complementary strengths of visible textures and thermal cues. However, existing methods mainly rely on dense cross-modal interactions …
