Infrared dim tiny-sized target detection based on feature fusion by Peng Zhang, Yaman Jing, Guodong Liu, Ziyang Chen, Xiaoyan Wu, Osami Sasaki, Jixiong Pu

“…Furthermore, to tackle the problem of the fuzzy and ambiguous shape of the target caused by a weak signal and tiny dimension, a residual-based pyramid-like (RBPL) module is designed, which extracts the deep information (i.e. the shape information) from the images to compensate for the lack of expressive ability of the fixed convolution kernel for shape information. These two main modules are employed as the core to form a feature fusion network to realize the detection of infrared dim tiny-sized targets. …”
