Abstract Existing cross-modal semantic segmentation networks ignore the complementarity among cross-modal features and the correlation among features of different scales, resulting in blurred boundaries and poor segmentation accuracy for distant small targets under complex lighting conditions. A new cross-modal semantic segmentation algorithm (EMFFNet) was proposed. In the encoder, based on the different semantic characteristics of shallow and deep layers, a multi-scale attention fusion module and a cross-modal feature weighted fusion module were designed to capture detailed texture information and high-order semantic information, respectively. A channel enhancement module and edge supervision strategy were introduced into the decoder to assist training, and the target boundary perception ability was strengthened. Compared with the mainstream algorithms, EMFFNet achieves the best evaluation metrics on the MFNet urban street view dataset, with mean accuracy and mean intersection-over-union of 76.1% and 59.4%, respectively. Experimental results show that EMFFNet effectively alleviates edge blurring and enhances segmentation accuracy of distant small targets under varying illumination.

结合边缘辅助与多级特征融合的跨模态语义分割算法
现有跨模态语义分割网络忽略跨模态特征间的互补性和不同尺度特征间的关联性,在复杂光照条件下存在边界模糊、远处小目标分割准确性差的问题,为此提出新的跨模态语义分割算法(EMFFNet). 在编码器中,基于浅层与深层的语义特性差异,设计多尺度注意力融合模块和跨模态特征加权融合模块,分别捕获细节纹理信息和高阶语义信息. 在解码器中,引入通道增强模块和边缘监督策略辅助训练,强化目标边界感知能力. 相比主流算法,EMFFNet在MFNet城市街景数据集上的各项评估指标均为最优,平均准确率和平均交并比分别为76.1%和59.4%. 实验结果表明,在光照变化条件下,EMFFNet能够有效缓解目标边缘模糊问题,提高远处小目标分割精度.
