SAM2-DFBCNet: A Camouflaged Object Detection Network Based on the Heira Architecture of SAM2

Camouflaged Object Detection (COD) aims to segment objects that are highly integrated with their background, presenting significant challenges such as low contrast, complex textures, and blurred boundaries. Existing deep learning methods often struggle to achieve robust segmentation under these conditions. To address these limitations, this paper proposes a novel COD network, SAM2-DFBCNet, built upon the SAM2 Hiera architecture. Our network incorporates three key modules: (1) the Camouflage-Aware Context Enhancement Module (CACEM), which fuses local and global features through an attention mechanism to enhance contextual awareness in low-contrast scenes; (2) the Cross-Scale Feature Interaction Bridge (CSFIB), which employs a bidirectional convolutional GRU for the dynamic fusion of multi-scale features, effectively mitigating representation inconsistencies caused by complex textures and deformations; and (3) the Dynamic Boundary Refinement Module (DBRM), which combines channel and spatial attention mechanisms to optimize boundary localization accuracy and enhance segmentation details. Extensive experiments on three public datasets-CAMO, COD10K, and NC4K-demonstrate that SAM2-DFBCNet outperforms twenty state-of-the-art methods, achieving maximum improvements of 7.4%, 5.78%, and 4.78% in key metrics such as S-measure (Sα), F-measure (Fβ), and mean E-measure (Eϕ), respectively, while reducing the Mean Absolute Error (M) by 37.8%. These results validate the superior performance and robustness of our approach in complex camouflage scenarios.
