The paper introduces SARTM, a framework that adapts the Segment Anything Model (SAM) for RGB‑thermal (RGB‑T) semantic segmentation. It fine‑tunes SAM with LoRA layers, incorporates language guidance, and employs a Cross‑Modal Knowledge Distillation module to bridge modality gaps. The approach also modifies the segmentation head and adds an auxiliary semantic head, achieving superior performance on MFNET, PST900, and FMB benchmarks.

RA‑SOD is a new RGB‑Thermal salient object detection framework that explicitly models the reliability of each modality. It introduces a reliability‑conditioned representation, an uncertainty‑guided dual‑stream refinement, and a pixel‑wise modality competition mechanism to adaptively compensate degraded features and suppress unreliable evidence. Experiments on four benchmarks show that RA‑SOD achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance and remains robust under severe modality degradation.

Infrared-visible image fusion (IVIF) is pivotal for multimodal perception, yet reconciling the inherent information disparity between thermal and textural features remains a fundamental challenge. Existing prior-guided methods often rely on static constraints that induce optimization conflicts or utilize extrinsic semantic priors from large-scale foundation models (e.
The paper introduces S2A, a semantic-to-spatial alignment framework designed for alignment‑free RGB‑T salient object detection. It employs a global‑guided hierarchical fusion module to refine intra‑modal features, an alignment‑free cross‑modal channel attention module to exchange semantic information, and a spatial deformable cross‑attention module to recover local spatial correspondence. These components collectively reduce misalignment‑induced feature contamination and achieve competitive performance on public benchmarks without additional bells and whistles.
