GeoCueFormer enhances underwater segmentation with geometry-guided wavelet enhancement

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have introduced GeoCueFormer, a novel framework designed to improve underwater semantic segmentation. This method utilizes geometry-constrained frequency enhancement and a prediction-cued dual-stage decoder to address challenges like color shifts, low contrast, and blurred boundaries common in underwater imagery. By employing wavelet enhancement and a depth-derived spatial gate, GeoCueFormer effectively distinguishes structural details from degradation-induced interference, achieving state-of-the-art performance on SUIM and DUT benchmarks with a favorable accuracy-complexity trade-off.
