However, such fully automatic fusions may not always be helpful for the SOD task because the D quality itself usually varies from scene to scene. It may easily lead to a suboptimal fusion result if the D quality is not considered beforehand. Moreover, as an objective factor, the D quality has long been overlooked by previous work. As a result, it is becoming a clear performance bottleneck. Thus, we propose a simple yet effective scheme to measure D quality in advance, the key idea of which is to devise a series of features in accordance with the common attributes of high-quality D regions. To be more concrete, we conduct D quality assessments for each image region, following a multi-scale methodology that includes low-level edge consistency, mid-level regional uncertainty and high-level model variance. All these components will be computed independently and then be assembled with RGB and D features, applied as implicit indicators, to guide the selective fusion. Compared with the state-of-the-art fusion schemes, our method can achieve a more reasonable fusion status between RGB and D. Specifically, the proposed D quality measurement method achieves steady performance improvements for almost 2.0\\% in general.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2008.04157v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2008.04157v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"knowing-depth-quality-in-advance-a-depth","repo_url":"https://github.com/XueHaoWang-Beijing/DQSF","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"object-detection","task_name":"Object Detection"},{"task_slug":"salient-object-detection","task_name":"RGB Salient Object Detection"},{"task_slug":"rgb-d-salient-object-detection","task_name":"RGB-D Salient Object Detection"},{"task_slug":"salient-object-detection-1","task_name":"Salient Object Detection"},{"task_slug":"object-detection-1","task_name":"object-detection"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
