Uncertainty-aware Spatial-Frequency Registration and Fusion for Infrared and Visible Images

Infrared and Visible Image Fusion (IVIF) has shown promise in visual tasks under challenging environments, but fusion under unregistered conditions faces inherent misalignments. Current studies to solve them either predict the deformation parameters coarse-to-fine (i.e., coarse registration and fine registration) or estimate the deformation fields in multi-scales for registration. Though straightforward, they overlook the cumulative errors in registration, which contaminate the fusion stage and severely deteriorate the resulting images. We introduce the Spatial-Frequency Registration and Fusion (SFRF) framework, which incorporates uncertainty estimation and infrared thermal radiation distribution consistency into a unified pipeline to handle the error accumulation for robust registration and fusion across both spatial and frequency domains. Specifically, SFRF constructs a Multi-scale Iterative Registration (MIR) framework that iteratively refines the deformation field across scales, leveraging uncertainty estimation at each stage to mitigate error accumulation and enhance alignment accuracy dynamically. To ensure the accurate alignment of infrared thermal distributions during registration, thermal radiation distribution consistency is employed as a frequency-domain supervisory signal, promoting global consistency in the frequency domain. Based on the spatial-frequency alignment, SFRF further adopts a Dual-branch Spatial-Frequency Fusion (DSFF) module, which incorporates spatial geometric features and frequency distribution information to reconstruct visually appealing images. SFRF achieves impressive performance across diverse datasets.

From Text to Pixels: A Context-Aware Semantic Synergy Solution for Infrared and Visible Image Fusion

With the rapid progression of deep learning technologies, multi-modality image fusion has become increasingly prevalent in object detection tasks. Despite its popularity, the inherent disparities in how different sources depict scene content make fusion a challenging problem. Current fusion methodologies identify shared characteristics between the two modalities and integrate them within this shared domain using either iterative optimization or deep learning architectures, which often neglect the intricate semantic relationships between modalities, resulting in a superficial understanding of inter-modal connections and, consequently, suboptimal fusion outcomes. To address this, we introduce a text-guided multi-modality image fusion method that leverages the high-level semantics from textual descriptions to integrate semantics from infrared and visible images. This method capitalizes on the complementary characteristics of diverse modalities, bolstering both the accuracy and robustness of object detection. The codebook is utilized to enhance a streamlined and concise depiction of the fused intra- and inter-domain dynamics, fine-tuned for optimal performance in detection tasks. We present a bilevel optimization strategy that establishes a nexus between the joint problem of fusion and detection, optimizing both processes concurrently. Furthermore, we introduce the first dataset of paired infrared and visible images accompanied by text prompts, paving the way for future research. Extensive experiments on several datasets demonstrate that our method not only produces visually superior fusion results but also achieves a higher detection mAP over existing methods, achieving state-of-the-art results.

On Semiparametric Efficiency of an Emerging Class of Regression Models for Between-subject Attributes

The semiparametric regression models have attracted increasing attention owing to their robustness compared to their parametric counterparts. This paper discusses the efficiency bound for functional response models (FRM), an emerging class of semiparametric regression that serves as a timely solution for research questions involving pairwise observations. This new paradigm is especially appealing to reduce astronomical data dimensions for those arising from wearable devices and high-throughput technology, such as microbiome Beta-diversity, viral genetic linkage, single-cell RNA sequencing, etc. Despite the growing applications, the efficiency of their estimators has not been investigated carefully due to the extreme difficulty to address the inherent correlations among pairs. Leveraging the Hilbert-space-based semiparametric efficiency theory for classical within-subject attributes, this manuscript extends such asymptotic efficiency into the broader regression involving between-subject attributes and pinpoints the most efficient estimator, which leads to a sensitive signal-detection in practice. With pairwise outcomes burgeoning immensely as effective dimension-reduction summaries, the established theory will not only fill the critical gap in identifying the most efficient semiparametric estimator but also propel wide-ranging implementations of this new paradigm for between-subject attributes.

Target-aware Dual Adversarial Learning and a Multi-scenario Multi-Modality Benchmark to Fuse Infrared and Visible for Object Detection

This study addresses the issue of fusing infrared and visible images that appear differently for object detection. Aiming at generating an image of high visual quality, previous approaches discover commons underlying the two modalities and fuse upon the common space either by iterative optimization or deep networks. These approaches neglect that modality differences implying the complementary information are extremely important for both fusion and subsequent detection task. This paper proposes a bilevel optimization formulation for the joint problem of fusion and detection, and then unrolls to a target-aware Dual Adversarial Learning (TarDAL) network for fusion and a commonly used detection network. The fusion network with one generator and dual discriminators seeks commons while learning from differences, which preserves structural information of targets from the infrared and textural details from the visible. Furthermore, we build a synchronized imaging system with calibrated infrared and optical sensors, and collect currently the most comprehensive benchmark covering a wide range of scenarios. Extensive experiments on several public datasets and our benchmark demonstrate that our method outputs not only visually appealing fusion but also higher detection mAP than the state-of-the-art approaches.

Unsupervised Misaligned Infrared and Visible Image Fusion via Cross-Modality Image Generation and Registration

Recent learning-based image fusion methods have marked numerous progress in pre-registered multi-modality data, but suffered serious ghosts dealing with misaligned multi-modality data, due to the spatial deformation and the difficulty narrowing cross-modality discrepancy. To overcome the obstacles, in this paper, we present a robust cross-modality generation-registration paradigm for unsupervised misaligned infrared and visible image fusion (IVIF). Specifically, we propose a Cross-modality Perceptual Style Transfer Network (CPSTN) to generate a pseudo infrared image taking a visible image as input. Benefiting from the favorable geometry preservation ability of the CPSTN, the generated pseudo infrared image embraces a sharp structure, which is more conducive to transforming cross-modality image alignment into mono-modality registration coupled with the structure-sensitive of the infrared image. In this case, we introduce a Multi-level Refinement Registration Network (MRRN) to predict the displacement vector field between distorted and pseudo infrared images and reconstruct registered infrared image under the mono-modality setting. Moreover, to better fuse the registered infrared images and visible images, we present a feature Interaction Fusion Module (IFM) to adaptively select more meaningful features for fusion in the Dual-path Interaction Fusion Network (DIFN). Extensive experimental results suggest that the proposed method performs superior capability on misaligned cross-modality image fusion.

Two-parameter Radial Equilibrium Models for Field-Reversed Configurations

A new equilibrium pressure profile extending the Rigid-Rotor (RR) model with a simple unified expression $P=P(ψ;β_{s},α, σ)$ for both inside and outside the separatrix is proposed, in which the radial normalized field-reversed configuration (FRC) equilibrium profiles for pressure, magnetic field, and current can be determined by only two dimensionless parameters $β_s\equiv P_s/2μ_0B_e^2$ and $δ_s\equiv L_{ps}/R_s$, where $P_s$ is the thermal pressure at the separatrix, $B_e$ is the external magnetic field strength, $L_{ps}$ is the pressure profile scale length at the separatrix, and $R_s$ is the separatrix radius. This modified rigid rotor (MRR) model has sufficient flexibility to accommodate the narrow scrape of layer (SOL) width and hollow current density profiles, and can be used to fit experimental measurements satisfactorily. Detailed one-dimensional (1D) characteristics of the new MRR model are investigated analytically and numerically, and the results are also confirmed in two-dimensional (2D) numerical equilibrium solutions.
