Spherical Geometry-guided and Frequency-Enhanced Segment Anything Model for 360° Salient Object Detection
-
摘要: 分割一切模型(SAM)作为通用分割大模型，在多类二维视觉任务中展现出强大迁移能力，但原生SAM主要针对2D平面图像设计，缺乏对360°全景图像球面几何特性的建模能力，难以直接应用于360°全景图像显著目标检测(360° SOD)。为了将SAM应用于360° SOD并解决其不足，该文提出一种采用球面几何引导和频率增强SAM的360° SOD网络，具体包括多认知适配器(MCA)，受人类视觉感知机制的启发，通过引入多尺度、多路径特征建模提升全景图像的上下文感知能力;球面几何引导注意力(SGGA)，利用球面几何先验缓解等矩形投影中的畸变与边界不连续性;以及空频域联合感知模块(SFJPM)，结合多尺度空洞卷积与频域注意力，增强全局与局部信息的协同建模，提升360° SOD性能。该文在现有的两个公开360° SOD数据集(360-SOD, 360-SSOD)上进行了大量实验，结果表明，所提方法在客观指标和主观结果上的表现均优于现有的7种代表性2D SOD方法和7种360° SOD方法。Abstract:
Objective With the rapid development of Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) technologies and the increasing demand for omnidirectional visual applications, accurate salient object detection in complex 360° scenes has become critical for system stability and intelligent decision-making. The Segment Anything Model (SAM) demonstrates strong transferability across two-dimensional vision tasks. However, it is primarily designed for planar images and lacks explicit modeling of spherical geometry, which limits its direct application to 360° Salient Object Detection (360° SOD). To address this limitation, this study integrates the generalization capability of SAM with spherical-aware multi-scale geometric modeling to improve 360° SOD. Specifically, a Multi-Cognitive Adapter (MCA), Spherical Geometry Guided Attention (SGGA), and Spatial-Frequency Joint Perception Module (SFJPM) are proposed to enhance multi-scale structural representation, mitigate projection-induced geometric distortions and boundary discontinuities, and strengthen joint global and local feature modeling. Methods The proposed 360° SOD framework is built on SAM and consists of an image encoder and a mask decoder. During encoding, spherical geometry modeling is incorporated into patch embedding by mapping image patches onto a unit sphere and explicitly modeling spatial relationships between patch centers. This strategy injects geometric priors into the attention mechanism, which improves sensitivity to non-uniform geometric characteristics and reduces information loss caused by omnidirectional projection distortion. The encoder adopts a partial freezing strategy and is organized into four stages, each containing three encoder blocks. Each block integrates the MCA for multi-scale contextual fusion and the SGGA to model long-range dependencies in spherical space. Multi-level features are concatenated along the channel dimension to form a unified representation. The representation is then refined by the SFJPM, which jointly captures spatial structures and frequency-domain global information. The fused features are subsequently fed into the SAM mask decoder. Saliency maps are optimized under ground-truth supervision to achieve accurate object localization and boundary refinement. Results and Discussions Experiments are conducted using the PyTorch framework on an RTX 3090 GPU with an input resolution of 512 × 512. Evaluations are performed on two public datasets, 360-SOD and 360-SSOD, and compared with 14 state-of-the-art methods. The proposed approach consistently achieves superior performance across six evaluation metrics. On the 360-SOD dataset, the model achieves a Mean Absolute Error (MAE) of 0.015 2 and a maximum F-measure of 0.849 2, outperforming representative methods such as MDSAM and DPNet. Qualitative results show that the proposed method produces saliency maps that are highly consistent with ground-truth annotations. The model handles challenging scenarios effectively, including projection distortion, boundary discontinuity, multi-object scenes, and complex backgrounds. Ablation studies further show that MCA, SGGA, and SFJPM each contribute to performance improvement and operate complementarily. Conclusions This study proposes an SAM-based framework for 360° salient object detection that jointly addresses multi-scale representation, spherical distortion awareness, and spatial-frequency feature modeling. The MCA improves multi-scale feature fusion, the SGGA compensates for Equirectangular Projection (ERP)-induced geometric distortion, and the SFJPM enhances long-range dependency modeling. Extensive experiments verify the effectiveness and feasibility of applying SAM to 360° SOD. Future research will extend this framework to omnidirectional video and multi-modal scenarios to further improve spatiotemporal modeling and scene understanding. -
