Abstract
Multimodal object detection in remote sensing faces challenges due to semantic heterogeneity and modality-specific noise interference. To this end, we propose SuppreSensing, which reformulates multimodal fusion as a selective collaboration process that jointly models shared information and modality-specific cues. SuppreSensing first designs an Expert-driven Multimodal Feature Recalibration (EMFR) module, which reformulates shared-consensus extraction as an input-adaptive multi-expert selection process to alleviate the symmetry trap in multimodal fusion. Complementing this, a modality-specific attribute augmentation strategy is employed to enhance specific modality features by modeling bidirectional discrepancy patterns, mitigating cross-modal heterogeneity. Furthermore, we propose an Expert-driven Customized Feature Purification (ECFP) module based on a "specialized inspection-comprehensive analysis-diagnostic update" physical examination paradigm to iteratively filter redundancies and reinforce task-relevant semantics. Extensive experiments on the DroneVehicle and VEDAI datasets demonstrate that SuppreSensing achieves state-of-the-art detection performance. Cross-domain evaluations on natural scene datasets (FLIR and LLVIP) further validate its superior robustness and generalization capability across diverse environmental conditions.
