| Popis: | Camouflaged objects adaptively fit their color and texture with the environment, which makes them indistinguishable from the surroundings. Current methods revealed that high-level semantic features can highlight the differences between camouflaged objects and the backgrounds. Consequently, they integrate high-level semantic features with low-level detailed features for accurate camouflaged object detection (COD). Unlike previous designs for multi-level feature fusion, we state that enhancing low-level features is more impending for COD. In this paper, we propose an overlapped window cross-level attention (OWinCA) to achieve the low-level feature enhancement guided by the highest-level features. By sliding an aligned window pair on both the highest- and low-level feature maps, the high-level semantics are explicitly integrated into the low-level details via cross-level attention. Additionally, it employs an overlapped window partition strategy to alleviate the incoherence among windows, which prevents the loss of global information. These adoptions enable the proposed OWinCA to enhance low-level features by promoting the separability of camouflaged objects. The associated proposed OWinCANet fuses these enhanced multi-level features by simple convolution operation to achieve the final COD. Experiments conducted on three large-scale COD datasets demonstrate that our OWinCANet significantly surpasses the current state-of-the-art COD methods. Comment: I am withdrawing this submission as I have developed a significantly expanded and improved version of this work. The new research incorporates substantial advancements, which extend beyond the scope of the original paper. To avoid redundancy and ensure the highest quality of contribution, I will submit the enhanced version in a future manuscript. |
