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.
arXiv:2606. 25329v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: State Space Models (SSMs), designed for long-range modeling, offer linear computational complexity and strong capabilities in capturing long-range dependencies.
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.
SPARK‑SAM is a new approach that adapts the Segment‑Anything Model (SAM) for infrared small‑target segmentation by learning target‑domain response knowledge and conditioning the decoder with an image‑conditioned joint self‑prompt state. In experiments on three IRSTD benchmarks, SPARK‑SAM achieves IoU scores of 75.78%, 86.49%, and 68.34% with only 0.726 M additional parameters, outperforming 14 retrained SAM variants. The method combines benchmark‑mask supervision with reliability‑aware response guidance, and ablations show consistent accuracy gains from response guidance and high‑resolution prompt refinement.

The paper evaluates out‑of‑the‑box object detection models for automatic target detection and recognition (ATD/R) in military settings. Six YOLO variants and two DETR variants were benchmarked on a new military dataset featuring vehicles, occlusions, and small targets, with performance measured in mAP@0.5 and mAP@0.5:0.95 across air‑to‑ground and ground‑to‑ground perspectives. Findings show larger models and DETR-based approaches perform best, fine‑tuning on the VisDrone dataset improves air‑to‑ground and small‑object performance, yet all models still struggle with small targets in air‑to‑ground scenarios.
