摘要

Camouflaged object detection (COD) remains inherently challenging due to the strong appearance and structural similarity between foreground objects and their surrounding environments. In collaborative scenarios, where multiple images contain objects sharing similar camouflage patterns, modeling inter-image consensus becomes essential for reliable localization. However, existing collaborative camouflaged object detection (CoCOD) methods often struggle with scale inconsistency across views, structural attenuation during hierarchical feature fusion, and boundary ambiguity caused by background interference. To address these challenges, we propose WCAF-Net, a wavelet-enhanced consensus adaptive fusion network, which integrates scale-aware feature interaction and frequency-disentangled structural modeling in a unified architecture. Specifically, a multi-scale adaptive feature fusion (MAFF) module reconciles global consensus cues with fine-grained local variations through dynamic cross-scale weighting. A wavelet-enhanced high-frequency reconstruction (WHR) module performs wavelet-based frequency disentanglement to selectively reinforce structurally informative high-frequency components, alleviating detail dilution caused by hierarchical feature fusion. Furthermore, an edge-aware feature refinement (EFR) module leverages local structural contrast to improve contour completeness while avoiding over-enhancement artifacts. Extensive experiments on the CoCOD8K dataset demonstrate that the proposed method consistently outperforms representative COD, co-salient object detection (CoSOD), and CoCOD approaches across multiple evaluation metrics.
