• Authors: Hala Lamdouar, Weidi Xie, Andrew Zisserman
• Abstract summary: We show that camouflage can be measured by the similarity between background and foreground features and boundary visibility. We incorporate the proposed camouflage score into a generative model as an auxiliary loss and show that effective camouflage images or videos can be synthesised in a scalable manner.

• Abstract: Not all camouflages are equally effective, as even a partially visible contour or a slight color difference can make the animal stand out and break its camouflage. In this paper, we address the question of what makes a camouflage successful, by proposing three scores for automatically assessing its effectiveness. In particular, we show that camouflage can be measured by the similarity between background and foreground features and boundary visibility. We use these camouflage scores to assess and compare all available camouflage datasets. We also incorporate the proposed camouflage score into a generative model as an auxiliary loss and show that effective camouflage images or videos can be synthesised in a scalable manner. The generated synthetic dataset is used to train a transformer-based model for segmenting camouflaged animals in videos. Experimentally, we demonstrate state-of-the-art camouflage breaking performance on the public MoCA-Mask benchmark.

  We propose a framework for synthesizing camouflage data to enhance the detection of camouflaged objects in natural scenes.

  We present a simple masked separable attention (MSA) for camouflaged object detection. We first separate the multi-head self-attention into three parts, which are responsible for distinguishing the camouflaged objects from the background using different mask strategies. We propose to capture high-resolution semantic representations progressively based on a simple top-down decoder with the proposed MSA to attain precise segmentation results.

  Camouflaged object detection aims to segment camouflaged objects hiding in their surroundings. We argue that explicitly modeling the conspicuousness of camouflaged objects against their particular backgrounds can lead to a better understanding about camouflage and evolution of animals. We present the first ranking based COD network (Rank-Net) to simultaneously localize, segment and rank camouflaged objects.
