Abstract
Salient object detection aims to identify and segment the most visually prominent objects in images. Despite significant advances in deep learning, existing methods struggle to balance global context modeling, boundary preservation, and multi-scale feature integration. To address these limitations, we propose MAFNet (Multi-level Attention Fusion Network), a novel attention-driven framework that leverages specialized attention mechanisms tailored to different semantic levels. Our approach employs a Tokens-to-Token (T2T) Transformer backbone for hierarchical feature extraction, capturing both local structural details and global contextual relationships. The core contribution lies in a comprehe... More >
