Camouflaged Object Detection (COD) aims to locate and segment objects that blend into their surroundings, presenting challenges due to weak edge cues and ill-defined boundaries. Traditional COD models rely on hand-designed architectures and multi-scale feature fusion, which are often guided by intuition rather than systematic search. This paper introduces CamoNAS, a frequency-aware multi-resolution Neural Architecture Search (NAS) framework for COD. CamoNAS automatically searches both cell-level operations and network-level downsampling paths, forming a hierarchical search space tailored to detect camouflaged objects. Additionally, it adopts an RGB frequency dual-stream architecture, where a learnable wavelet transform complements the RGB spatial stream. CamoNAS achieves state-of-the-art performance on four COD benchmarks (CAMO, COD10K, NC4K, CHAMELEON), highlighting the effectiveness of NAS for COD.

Recent years have witnessed the prosperity of reference-based image super-resolution (Ref-SR). By importing the high-resolution (HR) reference images into the single image super-resolution (SISR) approach, the ill-posed nature of this long-standing field has been alleviated with the assistance of texture transferred from reference images. Although the significant improvement in quantitative and qualitative results has verified the superiority of Ref-SR methods, the presence of misalignment before texture transfer indicates room for further performance improvement. Existing methods tend to neglect the significance of details in the context of comparison, therefore not fully leveraging the information contained within low-resolution (LR) images. In this paper, we propose a Detail-Enhancing Framework (DEF) for reference-based super-resolution, which introduces the diffusion model to generate and enhance the underlying detail in LR images. If corresponding parts are present in the reference image, our method can facilitate rigorous alignment. In cases where the reference image lacks corresponding parts, it ensures a fundamental improvement while avoiding the influence of the reference image. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our proposed method achieves superior visual results while maintaining comparable numerical outcomes.
