New FlexibleFusion method adapts object detection to missing sensor data

Researchers have developed FlexibleFusion, a novel method for infrared-visible object detection (IVOD) that adapts to missing sensor data. This approach utilizes a Modality-Aware Experts Collaboration (MAEC) mechanism to dynamically switch between cross-modal fusion and self-fusion based on sensor availability. Additionally, a Residual Self-Paced Entropic Optimal Transport (RSPEOT) technique is introduced to align feature distributions from different modalities by prioritizing reliable matches and progressively refining more challenging ones. AI

IMPACT This method improves robustness in object detection systems by handling intermittent sensor data, potentially enhancing performance in real-world applications.

    Residual Optimal Transport-Based Experts Collaboration Towards Modality-Aware Infrared-Visible Object Detection

    arXiv:2609.03516v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Infrared-visible object detection (IVOD) integrates complementary evidence from visible and infrared sensors for reliable perception in challenging scenes. In practice, sensors may fail or drop frames, leaving one modality unavailab…
