RoES is a Rotational Equivariant Selective-frequency fusion network that dynamically separates low- and high-frequency components of infrared-visible images. It uses a trainable rotation-enhanced updater to decouple frequencies, then fuses them with a dual-branch module: a rotation-equivariant Mamba for low-frequency structural dependencies and a polar spectral attention Dual-Fourier block for high-frequency detail refinement. Experiments show RoES outperforms existing methods in fusion quality and downstream object detection, offering a robust multimodal fusion solution.
This paper presents a novel strategy for UAV detection through visible (RGB) and infrared (IR) fusion, in order to improve accuracy and precision in harsh environments and weather conditions. In this...
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.
This study compares two fusion strategies for UAV detection using RGB and infrared imagery: early (image-level) fusion and late (decision-level) fusion. Extensive testing in varied lighting, backgrounds, distances, altitudes, and zoom levels shows that early fusion yields higher raw performance by integrating thermal data from the start, while late fusion offers a flexible workflow useful when sensors or frames are misaligned. The paper discusses both strengths and weaknesses of each approach and provides practical implementation recommendations.
