• Abstract summary: We introduce class-guided camouflaged object detection (CGCOD), which extends traditional COD task by incorporating object-specific class knowledge. We propose a multi-stage framework, CGNet, which incorporates a plug-and-play class prompt generator and a simple yet effective class-guided detector. This establishes a new paradigm for COD, bridging the gap between contextual understanding and class-guided detection.

• Abstract: Camouflaged Object Detection (COD) aims to identify objects that blend seamlessly into their surroundings. The inherent visual complexity of camouflaged objects, including their low contrast with the background, diverse textures, and subtle appearance variations, often obscures semantic cues, making accurate segmentation highly challenging. Existing methods primarily rely on visual features, which are insufficient to handle the variability and intricacy of camouflaged objects, leading to unstable object perception and ambiguous segmentation results. To tackle these limitations, we introduce a novel task, class-guided camouflaged object detection (CGCOD), which extends traditional COD task by incorporating object-specific class knowledge to enhance detection robustness and accuracy. To facilitate this task, we present a new dataset, CamoClass, comprising real-world camouflaged objects with class annotations. Furthermore, we propose a multi-stage framework, CGNet, which incorporates a plug-and-play class prompt generator and a simple yet effective class-guided detector. This establishes a new paradigm for COD, bridging the gap between contextual understanding and class-guided detection. Extensive experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of our flexible framework in improving the performance of proposed and existing detectors by leveraging class-level textual information.

  Camouflaged object detection (COD) primarily relies on semantic or instance segmentation methods. We propose a camouflage-aware feature refinement (CAFR) strategy to detect camouflaged objects. CAFR fully utilizes a clear perception of the current object within the prior knowledge of large models to assist detectors in deeply understanding the distinctions between background and foreground.

To address this challenge, we propose USCNet, a baseline model for USCOD that decouples the learning of attribute distinction from mask reconstruction.

  Recent object (COD) attempts to segment objects visually blended into their surroundings, which is extremely complex and difficult in real-world scenarios. We propose an effective unified collaborative pyramid network that mimics human behavior when observing vague images and camouflaged zooming in and out.
