New neural networks tackle infrared small target detection with dual-knowledge guidance

Researchers have developed two new neural network architectures, ADGNet and DGNet, for infrared small target detection. ADGNet utilizes an Asymmetric Dual-text Prompt and Asymmetric Dual-Branch Interaction to separately guide visual features with target and background prompts, addressing infrared semantic asymmetry. DGNet employs a Prior-knowledge Wavelet Modulation module and Consensus-knowledge Directional Alignment loss, using dual textual priors to disentangle background and target semantics and optimize detection. Both methods aim to improve target enhancement and background suppression, outperforming existing state-of-the-art approaches on public datasets. AI

IMPACT Introduces novel architectures for infrared small target detection, potentially improving performance in surveillance and autonomous systems.
