Win-Win Fusion: Multi-Modal Image Fusion with Visual-Semantic Collaboration

Existing multi-modal image fusion (MMIF) methods generally face an optimization gap between the visual and semantic domains, limiting the enhancement of perception capabilities.

Key points

  • To overcome this long-standing barrier, this work proposes W2F, a new visual-semantic mutual reinforcing paradigm for MMIF.
  • Specifically, the segmentation-guided fusion loss introduces object-aware structural guidance into visual fusion, while the embedded information restoration prior strengthens the ability of visual fusion to provide reliable perceptual evidence for the semantic branch under degraded conditions.
  • Then, we introduce a strong multi-modal information interaction mechanism composed of interactive gated mixed attention (IGM-Att) and progressive coupling attention (PC-Att).
  • Finally, we construct a collaborative mechanism to couple visual fusion and semantic fusion.
