However, due to the weak nature of infrared targets and the presence of background interferences such as wave reflections and islands in maritime scenes, targets are easily submerged in the background, making small infrared targets hard to detect. We propose the multidimensional information fusion network(MIFNet) that can learn more information from limited data and achieve more accurate target segmentation. The multidimensional information fusion module calculates semantic information through the attention mechanism and fuses it with detailed information and edge information, enabling the network to achieve more accurate target position detection and avoid detecting one target as multiple ones, especially in high-precision scenes such as maritime target detection, thus effectively improving the accuracy and reliability of detection. Moreover, experiments on our constructed dataset for small infrared targets in maritime scenes demonstrate that our algorithm has advantages over other state-of-the-art algorithms, with an IoU of 79.09%, nIoU of 79.43%, F1 score of 87.88%, and AuC of 95.96%.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs15204909","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,11]],"date-time":"2023-10-11T06:11:01Z","timestamp":1697004661000},"page":"4909","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["An Infrared Maritime Small Target Detection Algorithm Based on Semantic, Detail, and Edge Multidimensional Information Fusion"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Jiping","family":"Yao","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"National Key Laboratory of Science and Technology on Automatic Target Recognition, Collage of Electronic Science and Technology, National University of Defense Technology, Changsha 410073, China"}]},{"given":"Shanzhu","family":"Xiao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Key Laboratory of Science and Technology on Automatic Target Recognition, Collage of Electronic Science and Technology, National University of Defense Technology, Changsha 410073, China"}]},{"given":"Qiuqun","family":"Deng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Key Laboratory of Science and Technology on Automatic Target Recognition, Collage of Electronic Science and Technology, National University of Defense Technology, Changsha 410073, China"}]},{"given":"Gongjian","family":"Wen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Key Laboratory of Science and Technology on Automatic Target Recognition, Collage of Electronic Science and Technology, National University of Defense Technology, Changsha 410073, China"}]},{"given":"Huamin","family":"Tao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Key Laboratory of Science and Technology on Automatic Target Recognition, Collage of Electronic Science and Technology, National University of Defense Technology, Changsha 410073, China"}]},{"given":"Jinming","family":"Du","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Key Laboratory of Science and Technology on Automatic Target Recognition, Collage of Electronic Science and Technology, National University of Defense Technology, Changsha 410073, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2255","DOI":"10.1364\/AO.54.002255","article-title":"Directional support value of gaussian transformation for infrared small target detection","volume":"54","author":"Yang","year":"2015","journal-title":"Appl.
