contents High-precision dichotomous image segmentation (DIS) is a task of extracting fine-grained objects from high-resolution images. Existing methods trade efficiency for accuracy: non-diffusion methods are fast but suffer from weak semantics and unstable spatial priors, causing false detections; diffusion-based methods offer high accuracy via strong generative priors but are computationally expensive. In depth maps, a complete object appears as a low variance region with a smooth interior and sharp boundaries, whereas the background exhibits a chaotic, high variance pattern due to disconnected surfaces at varying depths. We refer to this as the depth integrity-prior. Inspired by this, and noting that DIS currently lacks depth maps, we leverage pseudo-depth information from monocular depth estimation models to obtain essential semantic understanding, thereby rapidly revealing spatial differences across target objects and the background. To exploit this prior, we propose the Prior-guided Depth Fusion Network (PDFNet), which fuses RGB and pseudo-depth features for depth-aware structure perception. We further introduce a novel depth integrity-prior loss to enforce depth consistency in segmentation and a fine-grained enhancement module with adaptive patch selection to sharpen boundaries. Notably, PDFNet with DAM-v2 achieves SOTA (Fmax 0.915 on DIS-VD and 0.915 on DIS-TE) using less than half the params of diffusion-based methods.
