YUV20K: A Complexity-Driven Benchmark and Trajectory-Aware Alignment Model for Video Camouflaged Object DetectionYiyu Liu, Shuo Ye, Chao Hao et al.
Video Camouflaged Object Detection (VCOD) is currently constrained by the scarcity of challenging benchmarks and the limited robustness of models against erratic motion dynamics. Existing methods often struggle with Motion-Induced Appearance Instability and Temporal Feature Misalignment caused by complex motion scenarios. To address the data bottleneck, we present YUV20K, a pixel-level annoated complexity-driven VCOD benchmark. Comprising 24,295 annotated frames across 91 scenes and 47 kinds of species, it specifically targets challenging scenarios like large-displacement motion, camera motion and other 4 types scenarios. On the methodological front, we propose a novel framework featuring two key modules: Motion Feature Stabilization (MFS) and Trajectory-Aware Alignment (TAA). The MFS module utilizes frame-agnostic Semantic Basis Primitives to stablize features, while the TAA module leverages trajectory-guided deformable sampling to ensure precise temporal alignment. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our method significantly outperforms state-of-the-art competitors on existing datasets and establishes a new baseline on the challenging YUV20K. Notably, our framework exhibits superior cross-domain generalization and robustness when confronting complex spatiotemporal scenarios. Our code and dataset will be available at https://github.com/K1NSA/YUV20K
High-Resolution Underwater Camouflaged Object Detection: GBU-UCOD Dataset and Topology-Aware and Frequency-Decoupled NetworksWenji Wu, Shuo Ye, Yiyu Liu et al.
Underwater Camouflaged Object Detection (UCOD) is a challenging task due to the extreme visual similarity between targets and backgrounds across varying marine depths. Existing methods often struggle with topological fragmentation of slender creatures in the deep sea and the subtle feature extraction of transparent organisms. In this paper, we propose DeepTopo-Net, a novel framework that integrates topology-aware modeling with frequency-decoupled perception. To address physical degradation, we design the Water-Conditioned Adaptive Perceptor (WCAP), which employs Riemannian metric tensors to dynamically deform convolutional sampling fields. Furthermore, the Abyssal-Topology Refinement Module (ATRM) is developed to maintain the structural connectivity of spindly targets through skeletal priors. Specifically, we first introduce GBU-UCOD, the first high-resolution (2K) benchmark tailored for marine vertical zonation, filling the data gap for hadal and abyssal zones. Extensive experiments on MAS3K, RMAS, and our proposed GBU-UCOD datasets demonstrate that DeepTopo-Net achieves state-of-the-art performance, particularly in preserving the morphological integrity of complex underwater patterns. The datasets and codes will be released at https://github.com/Wuwenji18/GBU-UCOD.
