Salient Object Detection (SOD) has traditionally relied on feature refinement modules that utilize the features of an ImageNet pre-trained backbone. However, this approach limits the possibility of pre-training the entire network because of…

RGB-D salient object detection (SOD) demonstrates its superiority on detecting in complex environments due to the additional depth information introduced in the data. Inevitably, an independent stream is introduced to extract features from…

Compared with laborious pixel-wise dense labeling, it is much easier to label data by scribbles, which only costs 1$\sim$2 seconds to label one image. However, using scribble labels to learn salient object detection has not been explored.…

We consider an interesting problem-salient instance segmentation in this paper. Other than producing bounding boxes, our network also outputs high-quality instance-level segments. Taking into account the category-independent property of…

Precise segmentation of objects with highly similar shapes remains a challenging problem in dense prediction, especially in scenarios with ambiguous boundaries, overlapping instances, and weak inter-instance visual differences. While…

This paper researches the unexplored task-point cloud salient object detection (SOD). Differing from SOD for images, we find the attention shift of point clouds may provoke saliency conflict, i.e., an object paradoxically belongs to salient…

Video salient object detection aims at discovering the most visually distinctive objects in a video. How to effectively take object motion into consideration during video salient object detection is a critical issue. Existing…

The success of deep neural networks relies on significant architecture engineering. Recently neural architecture search (NAS) has emerged as a promise to greatly reduce manual effort in network design by automatically searching for optimal…

Deep learning surrogate models are being increasingly used in accelerating scientific simulations as a replacement for costly conventional numerical techniques. However, their use remains a significant challenge when dealing with real-world…

Performance of deep learning models is strongly governed by architectural capacity, with width and depth as primary controls. However, in physical-science applications, models are often compared at a single fixed size or by separating…

Salient Object Detection (SOD) aims to identify and segment prominent regions within a scene. Traditional models rely on manually annotated pseudo labels with precise pixel-level accuracy, which is time-consuming. We developed a low-cost,…

UNet-based methods have shown outstanding performance in salient object detection (SOD), but are problematic in two aspects. 1) Indiscriminately integrating the encoder feature, which contains spatial information for multiple objects, and…
