• Authors: Jing Tan, Pengfei Xiong, Yuwen He, Kuntao Xiao, Zhengyi Lv
• Abstract summary: We propose a novel Local Context Attention Network (LCANet) to generate locally reinforcement feature maps in a uniform representational architecture. The proposed network introduces an Attentional Correlation Filter (ACF) module to generate explicit local attention by calculating the correlation feature map between coarse prediction and global context. Comprehensive experiments are conducted on several salient object segmentation datasets, demonstrating the superior performance of the proposed LCANet against the state-of-the-art methods.

• Abstract: Salient object segmentation aims at distinguishing various salient objects from backgrounds. Despite the lack of semantic consistency, salient objects often have obvious texture and location characteristics in local area. Based on this priori, we propose a novel Local Context Attention Network (LCANet) to generate locally reinforcement feature maps in a uniform representational architecture. The proposed network introduces an Attentional Correlation Filter (ACF) module to generate explicit local attention by calculating the correlation feature map between coarse prediction and global context. Then it is expanded to a Local Context Block(LCB). Furthermore, an one-stage coarse-to-fine structure is implemented based on LCB to adaptively enhance the local context description ability. Comprehensive experiments are conducted on several salient object segmentation datasets, demonstrating the superior performance of the proposed LCANet against the state-of-the-art methods, especially with 0.883 max F-score and 0.034 MAE on DUTS-TE dataset.

  coarse point refinement (CPR) is first attempt to alleviate semantic variance from an algorithmic perspective. CPR reduces semantic variance by selecting a semantic centre point in a neighbourhood region to replace the initial annotated point. CPR++ can obtain scale information and further reduce the semantic variance in a global region.

  A convolutional neural network (CNN) for camouflaged object detection tends to activate local discriminative regions while ignoring complete object extent. In this paper, we argue that partial activation is caused by the intrinsic characteristics of CNN. In order to obtain feature maps that could activate full object extent, a novel framework termed Cross-Model Detail Querying network (DQnet) is proposed.

  We propose a novel module named Local Context Propagation (LCP) to exploit the message passing between neighboring local regions. We use the overlap points of adjacent local regions as intermediaries, then re-weight the features of these shared points from different local regions before passing them to the next layers. The proposed method is applicable to different tasks and outperforms various transformer-based methods in benchmarks including 3D shape classification and dense prediction tasks.

  We propose a two-stage approach, termed structure-preserving activation (SPA), towards fully leveraging the structure information incorporated in convolutional features for WSOL. In the first stage, a restricted activation module (RAM) is designed to alleviate the structure-missing issue caused by the classification network. In the second stage, we propose a post-process approach, termed self-correlation map generating (SCG) module to obtain structure-preserving localization maps.
