• Abstract: Referring camouflaged object detection (Ref-COD) aims to identify hidden objects by incorporating reference information such as images and text descriptions. Previous research has transformed reference images with salient objects into one-dimensional prompts, yielding significant results. We explore ways to enhance performance through multi-context fusion of rich salient image features and camouflaged object features. Therefore, we propose RFMNet, which utilizes features from multiple encoding stages of the reference salient images and performs interactive fusion with the camouflage features at the corresponding encoding stages. Given that the features in salient object images contain abundant object-related detail information, performing feature fusion within local areas is more beneficial for detecting camouflaged objects. Therefore, we propose an Overlapped Windows Cross-attention mechanism to enable the model to focus more attention on the local information matching based on reference features. Besides, we propose the Referring Feature Aggregation (RFA) module to decode and segment the camouflaged objects progressively. Extensive experiments on the Ref-COD benchmark demonstrate that our method achieves state-of-the-art performance.

  A convolutional neural network (CNN) for camouflaged object detection tends to activate local discriminative regions while ignoring complete object extent. In this paper, we argue that partial activation is caused by the intrinsic characteristics of CNN. In order to obtain feature maps that could activate full object extent, a novel framework termed Cross-Model Detail Querying network (DQnet) is proposed.

  Camouflaged object detection (COD) aims to detect/segment camouflaged objects embedded in the environment. Several COD methods have been developed, but they still suffer from unsatisfactory performance due to intrinsic similarities between foreground objects and background surroundings. We propose a novel Feature Aggregation and propagation Network (FAP-Net) for camouflaged object detection.
