Consensus aware foreground refinement network for collaborative camouflaged object detection
摘要
In the realm of computer vision, accurately detecting camouflaged objects amidst highly similar backgrounds remains a formidable challenge. Existing methods for collaborative camouflaged object detection (CoCOD) often neglect the co-representation information within camouflaged object groups. This paper introduces the Consensus-Aware Foreground Refinement Network (CFNet), a novel framework designed to address this issue. CFNet comprises a Consensus Awareness Module (CAM) to capture shared semantic cues across images, a Foreground Feature Refinement Module (FRM) to enhance foreground representations, and a Foreground-induced Integrity Aggregation Decoder (FIAD) to fuse collaborative and refined foreground features. Experimental results on the CoCOD8K dataset demonstrate that CFNet outperforms state-of-the-art CoCOD, camouflaged object detection (COD), and collaborative salient object detection (CoSOD) models, achieving impressive performance with an F-measure of 0.750 and an E-measure of 0.896. This work highlights the potential of CFNet in enhancing the accuracy of collaborative camouflaged object detection in complex environments.
