• Abstract summary: We have identified two overlooked issues for the LF salient object detection (SOD) task. Previous approaches predominantly employ a customized two-stream design to discover the spatial and depth features within light field images. The network struggles to learn the implicit angular information between different images due to a lack of intra-network data connectivity. We propose an efficient paradigm (LF Tracy) to address those issues.

• Abstract: Leveraging rich information is crucial for dense prediction tasks. Light field (LF) cameras are instrumental in this regard, as they allow data to be sampled from various perspectives. This capability provides valuable spatial, depth, and angular information, enhancing scene-parsing tasks. However, we have identified two overlooked issues for the LF salient object detection (SOD) task. (1): Previous approaches predominantly employ a customized two-stream design to discover the spatial and depth features within light field images. The network struggles to learn the implicit angular information between different images due to a lack of intra-network data connectivity. (2): Little research has been directed towards the data augmentation strategy for LF SOD. Research on inter-network data connectivity is scant. In this study, we propose an efficient paradigm (LF Tracy) to address those issues. This comprises a single-pipeline encoder paired with a highly efficient information aggregation (IA) module (around 8M parameters) to establish an intra-network connection. Then, a simple yet effective data augmentation strategy called MixLD is designed to bridge the inter-network connections. Owing to this innovative paradigm, our model surpasses the existing state-of-the-art method through extensive experiments. Especially, LF Tracy demonstrates a 23% improvement over previous results on the latest large-scale PKU dataset. The source code is publicly available at: https://github.com/FeiBryantkit/LF-Tracy.

  We present an advanced study on more challenging high-resolution salient object detection (HRSOD) from both dataset and network framework perspectives. To compensate for the lack of HRSOD dataset, we thoughtfully collect a large-scale high resolution salient object detection dataset, called UHRSD. All the images are finely annotated in pixel-level, far exceeding previous low-resolution SOD datasets.

  Given a descriptive text query, text-based person search aims to retrieve the best-matched target person from an image gallery. Such a cross-modal retrieval task is quite challenging due to significant modality gap, fine-grained differences and insufficiency of annotated data.
