When Depth Hurts: Reliability-Aware Geometry Distillation for Depth-Free RGB-D Salient Object Detection
Depth can resolve appearance ambiguity in RGB-D salient object detection (SOD), yet sensor depth is not uniformly reliable. Missing regions, blurred boundaries, and structural artifacts can propagate through multimodal fusion and make an RGB-D detector less accurate than its RGB-only counterpart. Existing quality-aware...
