contents We pioneer a learning-based single-point prompt paradigm for infrared small target label generation (IRSTLG) to lobber annotation burdens. Unlike previous clustering-based methods, our intuition is that point-guided mask generation just requires one more prompt than target detection, i.e., IRSTLG can be treated as an infrared small target detection (IRSTD) with the location hint. Therefore, we propose an elegant yet effective Energy-Double-Guided Single-point Prompt (EDGSP) framework, aiming to adeptly transform a coarse IRSTD network into a refined label generation method. Specifically, EDGSP comprises three key modules: 1) target energy initialization (TEI), which establishes a foundational outline to streamline the mapping process for effective shape evolution, 2) double prompt embedding (DPE) for rapidly localizing interesting regions and reinforcing high-resolution individual edges to avoid label adhesion, and 3) bounding box-based matching (BBM) for eliminating false masks via considering comprehensive cluster boundary conditions to obtain a reliable output. In this way, pseudo labels generated by three backbones equipped with our EDGSP achieve 100% object-level probability of detection (Pd) and 0% false-alarm rate (Fa) on SIRST, NUDT-SIRST, and IRSTD-1k datasets, with a pixel-level intersection over union (IoU) improvement of 13.28% over state-of-the-art (SOTA) label generation methods. Further applying our inferred masks to train detection models, EDGSP, for the first time, enables a single-point-generated pseudo mask to surpass the manual labels. Even with coarse single-point annotations, it still achieves 99.5% performance of full labeling. Code is available at https://github.com/xdFai/EDGSP.
