Abstract
- Recently CNN-based RGB-D salient object detection (SOD) has obtained significant improvement on detection accuracy. However, existing models often fail to perform well in terms of efficiency and accuracy simultaneously. This hinders their potential applications on mobile devices as well as many real-world problems. To bridge the accuracy gap between lightweight and large models for RGB-D SOD, in this paper, an efficient module that can greatly improve the accuracy but adds little computation is proposed. Inspired by the fact that depth quality is a key factor influencing the accuracy, we propose an efficient depth quality-inspired feature manipulation (DQFM) process, which can dynamically filter depth features according to depth quality. The proposed DQFM resorts to the alignment of low-level RGB and depth features, as well as holistic attention of the depth stream to explicitly control and enhance cross-modal fusion. We embed DQFM to obtain an efficient lightweight RGB-D SOD model called DFM-Net, where we in addition design a tailored depth backbone and a two-stage decoder as basic parts. Extensive experimental results on nine RGB-D datasets demonstrate that our DFM-Net outperforms recent efficient models, running at about 20 FPS on CPU with only 8.5Mb model size, and meanwhile being 2.9/2.4 times faster and 6.7/3.1 times smaller than the latest best models A2dele and MobileSal. It also maintains state-of-the-art accuracy when even compared to non-efficient models. Interestingly, further statistics and analyses verify the ability of DQFM in distinguishing depth maps of various qualities without any quality labels. Last but not least, we further apply DFM-Net to deal with video SOD (VSOD), achieving comparable performance against recent efficient models while being 3/2.3 times faster/smaller than the prior best in this field.
