Temporal Prompt Learning With Depth Memory for Video Mirror Detection

Abstract

Mirror detection in dynamic scenes plays a crucial role in ensuring safety for various applications, such as drone tracking and robot navigation. However, current mirror detection models often fail in areas with mirrors that have a similar visual and color appearance to their surrounding objects. They also struggle to generalize well in complex cases, primarily due to limited annotated datasets. In this work, we propose a novel temporal prompt learning network with depth memory (TPD-Net) to address these critical challenges. Our approach includes several key components. First, we introduce a Temporal Prompt Generator (TPG) to learn temporal prompt features. Then, we devise Multi-layer Depth-aware Adaptor (MDA) modules to progressively adapt prompt features from the TPG, thereby learning mirror-related features by embedding temporal depth information as guidance. Moreover, we further refine these mirror-related features by constructing a depth memory and a Depth Memory Read module to read the temporal depths stored in the memory, boosting video mirror detection. Experimental results on a benchmark dataset show that our TPD-Net significantly outperforms 22 state-of-the-art methods in video mirror detection tasks.
