Abstract

Abstract Recent advancements in multimodal object detection have predominantly relied on end-to-end training paradigms, which, while effective, demand substantial computational resources and risk feature degradation. To address these challenges, we propose a frozen backbone paradigm, preserving pretrained representations as stable semantic anchors for effcient multimodal fusion. Our approach introduces a lightweight Multi-Receptive Field Attention (MRFA) mechanism, enhancing feature interaction and representation diversity without exhaustive retraining. Experiments on the FLIR Aligned and M3 FD datasets demonstrate consistent improvements over state-of-the-art end-to-end models, highlighting the potential of pretrained backbones coupled with adaptive attention mechanisms for robust multimodal object detection. The project code is released at https://github.com/LuBingyu11/MRFA.

Our approach introduces a lightweight Multi-Receptive Field Attention (MRFA) mechanism, enhancing feature interaction and representation diversity without exhaustive retraining. Experiments on the FLIR Aligned and M3 FD datasets demonstrate consistent improvements over state-of-the-art end-to-end models, highlighting the potential of pretrained backbones coupled with adaptive attention mechanisms for robust multimodal object detection.
