摘要
In the field of the salient object detection, the U-shaped structure has attracted much attention. However, the spatial and boundary details are ignored in the U-shaped salient object detection task. To address the issues, this paper proposes a salient object detection network that uses semantic information to guide feature aggregation, mainly including three modules: Mixing attention module (MAM), enlarged receptive field module (ERFM) and multi-level aggregation module (MLAM). Specifically, utilizes ERFM to process the low-level features, so that it can increase the receptive field while retaining the original edge details to obtain richer spatial context information. Then, utilize the MAM to process the high-level features to enhance its semantic representation, which guides the feature aggregation in the decoding process. Finally, MLAM is employed to effectively combine the multilevel features for the predicted salient map. This paper conducts extensive experiments on 6 benchmarks, and the results have proved that the method can effectively locate salient object and refine edge details. © 2023 Science Press.
