A multi-task complementary learning framework and a new dataset address robust maritime image perception, integrating restoration, fusion, and segmentation for enhanced understanding in degraded conditions. The framework achieved an mIoU of 60.2% on the newly introduced Infrared-Visible Maritime Ship Dataset (IVMSD) and demonstrated improved robustness and perceptual quality.

Key insights

  • Unified end-to-end optimization of low-level visual processing (restoration and fusion) and high-level semantic understanding (segmentation) can synergistically improve overall perception performance in degraded environments.
  • Jointly modeling characteristics in both frequency and spatial domains (FSEC module) is effective for mitigating diverse and coupled maritime image degradations.
  • Gated cross-modal attention and semantic-guided enhancement mechanisms (GMIA and SVCA) enable selective feature integration, suppress noise propagation, and align visual processing with task-relevant semantic objectives.
