Infrared small target detection (IRSTD) is important for low-altitude perception, unmanned-system warning, and security monitoring. However, weak targets in infrared imagery usually occupy only a few pixels and are easily submerged by cloud clutter, ground edges, and bright noise, making it difficult for lightweight segmentation-based methods to preserve local target structures while suppressing background interference.

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.

arXiv:2608. 05771v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Infrared small target detection (IRSTD) has achieved substantial progress under domain-consistent evaluation, yet detector performance often degrades markedly when generalizing to unseen infrared domains.
By Aohua Li, Jin Kuang, Yubing Lu, Pingping Liu
Remote-sensing and UAV applications need models that generalize across platforms and viewpoints without task-specific training. Yet training-free pipelines often falter on oriented geometry, scale/rotation variation, and crowded ports or airfields, and rarely unify detection and segmentation.
Visible-infrared (VIS-IR) alignment is a key pre-training task for robust multi-sensor perception. Most existing methods use uniform patch-wise contrastive learning, but this can be unreliable in VIS-IR data because imaging-physics differences make some spatially paired regions inherently less comparable, and aligning them with equal strength hinders representation learning and downstream transfer.
