• Abstract: Recent research advances in salient object detection (SOD) could largely be attributed to ever-stronger multi-scale feature representation empowered by the deep learning technologies. The existing SOD deep models extract multi-scale features via the off-the-shelf encoders and combine them smartly via various delicate decoders. However, the kernel sizes in this commonly-used thread are usually "fixed". In our new experiments, we have observed that kernels of small size are preferable in scenarios containing tiny salient objects. In contrast, large kernel sizes could perform better for images with large salient objects. Inspired by this observation, we advocate the "dynamic" scale routing (as a brand-new idea) in this paper. It will result in a generic plug-in that could directly fit the existing feature backbone. This paper's key technical innovations are two-fold. First, instead of using the vanilla convolution with fixed kernel sizes for the encoder design, we propose the dynamic pyramid convolution (DPConv), which dynamically selects the best-suited kernel sizes w.r.t. the given input. Second, we provide a self-adaptive bidirectional decoder design to accommodate the DPConv-based encoder best. The most significant highlight is its capability of routing between feature scales and their dynamic collection, making the inference process scale-aware. As a result, this paper continues to enhance the current SOTA performance. Both the code and dataset are publicly available at https://github.com/wuzhenyubuaa/DPNet.

  We propose Dynamic Perceiver (Dyn-Perceiver) to decouple the feature extraction procedure and the early classification task. A feature branch serves to extract image features, while a classification branch processes a latent code assigned for classification tasks. Early exits are placed exclusively within the classification branch, thus eliminating the need for linear separability in low-level features.

• Dilated convolution with learnable spacings [6.6389732792316005]
  CNNs need receptive fields (RF) to compete with visual transformers. RFs can simply be enlarged by increasing the convolution kernel sizes. The number of trainable parameters, which scales quadratically with the kernel's size in the 2D case, rapidly becomes prohibitive. This paper presents a new method to increase the RF size without increasing the number of parameters.
