Camouflaged Object Detection (COD) aims to detect objects hidden in complex environments. The existing COD algorithms ignore the influence of feature expression and fusion methods on detection performance when combining multi-level features. Therefore, a COD algorithm based on progressive feature enhancement aggregation was proposed. Firstly, multi-level features were extracted through the backbone network. Then, in order to improve the expression ability of features, an enhancement network composed of Feature Enhancement Module (FEM) was used to enhance the multi-level features. Finally, Adjacency Aggregation Module (AAM) was designed in the aggregation network to achieve information fusion between adjacent features to highlight the features of the camouflaged object area, and a new Progressive Aggregation Strategy (PAS) was proposed to aggregate adjacent features in a progressive way to achieve effective multi-level feature fusion while suppressing noise. Experimental results on 3 public datasets show that the proposed algorithm achieves the best performance on 4 objective evaluation indexes compared with 12 state-of-the-art algorithms, especially on COD10K dataset, the weighted F-measure and the Mean Absolute Error (MAE) of the proposed algorithm reach 0.809 and 0.037 respectively. It can be seen that the proposed algorithm achieves better performance on COD tasks.
