Abstract

Exploiting long-range semantic contexts and geometric information is crucial to infer salient objects from RGB and depth features. However, existing methods mainly focus on excavating local features within fixed regions by continuously feeding forward networks. In this article, we introduce Dynamic Message Propagation (DMP) to dynamically learn context information within more flexible regions. We integrate DMP into a Siamese-based network to process the RGB image and depth map separately and design a multi-level feature fusion module to explore cross-level information between refined RGB and depth features. Extensive experiments show clear improvements of our method over 17 methods on six benchmark datasets for RGB-D salient object detection (SOD). Additionally, our method outperforms its competitors for the video SOD task. Code is available at https://github.com/chenbaian-cs/DMPNet.
