Few-shot Camouflaged Animal Detection and Segmentation

Camouflaged object detection and segmentation is a new and challenging research topic in computer vision. There is a serious issue of lacking data of camouflaged objects such as camouflaged animals in natural scenes. In this paper, we address the problem of few-shot learning for camouflaged object detection and segmentation. To this end, we first collect a new dataset, CAMO-FS, for the benchmark. We then propose a novel method to efficiently detect and segment the camouflaged objects in the images. In particular, we introduce the instance triplet loss and the instance memory storage. The extensive experiments demonstrated that our proposed method achieves state-of-the-art performance on the newly collected dataset.
