| Zusammenfassung: | Existing RGB-D salient object detection (SOD) models usually treat RGB and depth as independent information and design separate networks for feature extraction from each. Such schemes can easily be constrained by a limited amount of training data or over-reliance on an elaborately designed training process. Inspired by the observation that RGB and depth modalities actually present certain commonality in distinguishing salient objects, a novel joint learning and densely cooperative fusion (JL-DCF) architecture is designed to learn from both RGB and depth inputs through a shared network backbone, known as the Siamese architecture. In this paper, we propose two effective components: joint learning (JL), and densely cooperative fusion (DCF). The JL module provides robust saliency feature learning by exploiting cross-modal commonality via a Siamese network, while the DCF module is introduced for complementary feature discovery. Comprehensive experiments using 5 popular metrics show that the designed framework yields a robust RGB-D saliency detector with good generalization. As a result, JL-DCF significantly advances the SOTAs by an average of ~2.0% (F-measure) across 7 challenging datasets. In addition, we show that JL-DCF is readily applicable to other related multi-modal detection tasks, including RGB-T SOD and video SOD, achieving comparable or better performance |
