Boosting Infrared Small Target Detection via Logit-Domain Contrast and Adaptive Shape Refinement

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.

ADGNet: Asymmetric Dual-text Guided Network for Infrared Small Target Detection

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.

DOD-SA: Infrared-Visible Decoupled Object Detection with Single-Modality Annotations

The paper introduces DOD-SA, a framework for infrared-visible object detection that uses only single-modality annotations. It employs a Collaborative Teacher-Student Network with a single-modality branch and a dual-modality decoupled branch to transfer knowledge across modalities, and a Progressive and Self‑Tuning Training Strategy to refine pseudo‑labels. A Pseudo Label Assigner is also designed to align labels between modalities during training.

Aligned Consensus Teaching for Label-Efficient Oriented Object Detection in Weakly-Aligned Visible-Infrared Imagery

The paper introduces Aligned Consensus Teacher (ACT), a semi‑supervised framework for visible‑infrared object detection that operates under an image‑pair‑level setting with only a few labeled pairs. ACT combines Cycle‑Consistent Region Alignment, Cross‑Modal Consensus Mean‑Teacher, and Text‑Guided Cross‑Modal Instance Augmentation to address limited supervision, pseudo‑label errors, and scarce tail‑class annotations. Experiments on DroneVehicle and VEDAI demonstrate that with just 10% labeled pairs, ACT achieves 94.3% of the fully supervised mAP.
