Infrared small target detection (IRSTD) remains challenging due to tiny target size, low signal-to-noise ratio, severe foreground-background imbalance, and blurred boundaries in complex scenes. Existing methods usually rely on post-activation probability-domain supervision for discrimination, where weak targets and strong clutter may produce saturated and close probabilities, limiting weak-target discrimination.

The paper explores using generative models to translate RGB UAV images into synthetic infrared (IR) images for training vehicle detectors in domains where real IR data is scarce. Various translators—supervised GANs, ControlNet-based diffusion models, and LoRA-ed foundation models—were trained on paired RGB-IR datasets and applied to unseen target datasets to generate synthetic IR data. The synthetic IR images, especially those produced by Stable Diffusion 3.5 with ControlNet, significantly improved detection performance on unseen IR test sets, outperforming RGB and grayscale baselines and narrowing the gap to real IR data.
ADGNet introduces an Asymmetric Dual-text Guided Network for infrared small target detection, addressing challenges of pixel-level methods and multimodal approaches that lack regional guidance. It employs an Asymmetric Dual-text Prompt (ADP) with an abstract target prompt and a detailed background prompt, and an Asymmetric Dual-Branch Interaction (ADBI) module to guide visual features separately, followed by an Adaptive Feature Aggregation (AFA) module for dynamic fusion. The authors also create an Asymmetric Image-Text Infrared (AITIR) dataset with asymmetric text annotations for three public datasets, and show that ADGNet outperforms 21 state‑of‑the‑art methods.
UFO-DETR is an end‑to‑end object detection framework designed for UAV imagery, addressing challenges such as scale variation, dense distribution, and the prevalence of tiny targets. It employs an LSKNet backbone to optimize receptive fields and reduce parameters, integrates DAttention and AIFI modules for flexible multi‑scale spatial modeling, and introduces a DynFreq‑C3 module that enhances small target detection via cross‑space frequency feature enhancement. Experiments demonstrate that UFO‑DETR outperforms RT‑DETR‑L in detection accuracy while improving computational efficiency, making it suitable for UAV edge computing.
