Attention-Guided Pyramid Context Networks for Detecting Infrared Small Target Under Complex Background

Zhang, Tianfang, Li, Lei, Cao, Siying, Pu, Tian, Peng, Zhenming·2023·IEEE Transactions on Aerospace and Electronic Systems

Abstract

Infrared small target detection techniques remain a challenging task due to the complex background. To overcome this problem, by exploring context information, this research presents a data-driven approach called attention-guided pyramid context network (AGPCNet). Specifically, we design attention-guided context block and perceive pixel correlations within and between patches at specific scales via local semantic association and global context attention, respectively. Then, the contextual information from multiple scales is fused by context pyramid module to achieve better feature representation. In the upsampling stage, we fuse the low and deep semantics through asymmetric fusion module to retain more information about small targets. The experimental results illustrate that AGPCNet has achieved state-of-the-art performance on three available infrared small target datasets.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
