New architecture fuses RGB and thermal data for improved semantic segmentation

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a novel architecture for RGB-Thermal semantic segmentation, addressing challenges in adverse lighting conditions. The proposed method utilizes dual ConvNeXt V2 backbones with stage-wise, modality-adaptive fusion. It incorporates a Frequency-Based Fusion Module for early-stage features and a semantic fusion module with cross-modal attention for late-stage features, improving scene understanding by effectively integrating visible and infrared imagery.

    Frequency-Guided Fusion For RGB-Thermal Semantic Segmentation

    arXiv:2605.26273v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Semantic segmentation in complex environments such as urban driving scenes remains challenging under adverse lighting conditions, where RGB images alone provide insufficient information. RGB-Thermal fusion leverages the complementar…
