• Abstract summary: We propose a behavior-inspired framework, called Multi-view Feature Fusion Network (MFFN), which mimics the human behaviors of finding indistinct objects in images. MFFN captures critical edge and semantic information by comparing and fusing extracted multi-view features. Our method performs favorably against existing state-of-the-art methods via training with the same data.

• Abstract: Recent research about camouflaged object detection (COD) aims to segment highly concealed objects hidden in complex surroundings. The tiny, fuzzy camouflaged objects result in visually indistinguishable properties. However, current single-view COD detectors are sensitive to background distractors. Therefore, blurred boundaries and variable shapes of the camouflaged objects are challenging to be fully captured with a single-view detector. To overcome these obstacles, we propose a behavior-inspired framework, called Multi-view Feature Fusion Network (MFFN), which mimics the human behaviors of finding indistinct objects in images, i.e., observing from multiple angles, distances, perspectives. Specifically, the key idea behind it is to generate multiple ways of observation (multi-view) by data augmentation and apply them as inputs. MFFN captures critical edge and semantic information by comparing and fusing extracted multi-view features. In addition, our MFFN exploits the dependence and interaction between views by the designed hierarchical view and channel integration modules. Furthermore, our methods leverage the complementary information between different views through a two-stage attention module called Co-attention of Multi-view (CAMV). And we designed a local-overall module called Channel Fusion Unit (CFU) to explore the channel-wise contextual clues of diverse feature maps in an iterative manner. The experiment results show that our method performs favorably against existing state-of-the-art methods via training with the same data. The code will be available at https: //github.com/dwardzheng/MFFN_COD.

  We propose a novel Surrounding-Aware Network, namely SurANet, for concealed object detection. We enhance the semantics of feature maps using differential fusion of surrounding features to highlight concealed objects. Next, a Surrounding-Aware Contrastive Loss is applied to identify the concealed object via learning surrounding feature maps contrastively.
