The Entity-Guided Multi-Task Learning (EGMT) framework for infrared and visible image fusion integrates entity-level semantic guidance derived from image captions to enhance fusion quality. This approach achieves state-of-the-art performance across various datasets by balancing thermal target preservation with texture detail, and it boosts downstream object detection accuracy by up to 1.63% in mAP@[0.5:0.95].
Key insights
- Purifying textual guidance to entity-level semantics provides more precise and less noisy information, leading to higher quality and semantically dense fused images.
- Integrating an auxiliary multi-label classification task explicitly compels the model to recognize and prioritize entities, deepening its understanding of image content beyond implicit feature learning.
- Sophisticated hierarchical cross-modal attention mechanisms are crucial for effectively bridging visual and textual entity features, ensuring thorough and synergistic information integration.
