The invention relates to the field of
remote sensing image detection and identification, and discloses a cross-space-
frequency domain multi-
modal remote sensing small target detection method, which designs a bimodal feature
level fusion target detection architecture, extracts visible light and
infrared channel features in a distributed manner, and proposes a cross-domain gating self-attention fusion module to perform interaction and fusion of bimodal features. And finally, fusing the multi-scale features and inputting the fused multi-scale features into a detection head to obtain a multi-
modal target detection result. Wherein the cross-domain gating self-attention fusion module explores global context information of an image from the perspective of a
frequency domain, and introduces a polarization self-attention mechanism to establish a long-range dependency relationship for space-
frequency domain differential features, so that redundant information is filtered, and self-adaptive fusion of multi-
modal complementary features is enhanced. According to the model, the precision and robustness of
remote sensing small target detection are improved, meanwhile, the calculation amount is extremely low, the model is suitable for
satellite-borne and airborne end mobile deployment, and the
image processing precision and the response speed are improved.
