Mamba Goes Multimodal: How Fusion-Mamba Built a Hidden State Space to End Modality Disparity

Complete End-to-End Fusion-Mamba Implementation (PyTorch)

The implementation below faithfully reproduces Fusion-Mamba from arXiv:2404.09146 in clean, fully commented PyTorch. All 9 sections map directly to the paper: the SS2D selective scan and VSS block, the SSCS channel-swapping module, the DSSF dual gated hidden state fusion (stacked ×8), the complete FMB with residual enhancement, the dual-branch YOLOv8-style backbone, the YOLOv8 detection loss (coord + confidence + classification), a synthetic multispectral dataset, the full training loop, and a runnable smoke test.

Production deployment steps:

  1. Install mamba-ssm for GPU-accelerated selective scan:
       pip install mamba-ssm causal-conv1d
       Replace SelectiveScanSimple.forward() with:
         from mamba_ssm import selective_scan_fn

  2. Load pretrained YOLOv5/YOLOv8 backbone weights:
       from ultralytics import YOLO
       yolo = YOLO('yolov8l.pt')
       # Transfer backbone weights to DualStreamBackbone stages

  3. Download datasets:
       LLVIP:  https://github.com/bupt-ai-cz/LLVIP  (15,488 pairs)
       M3FD:   https://github.com/JinyuanLiu-CV/TarDAL (4,200 pairs)
       FLIR-A: https://www.flir.com/ (4,129 training / 1,013 test)

  4. Training config from paper:
       batch_size=4, SGD momentum=0.9, lr=0.01, wd=0.001
       img_size=640, epochs=150, lambda_coord=7.5
       num_dssf=8, FMB at P3+P4+P5

  5. Evaluate with COCO mAP toolkit:
       pip install pycocotools
       Compute mAP50 and mAP (0.5:0.05:0.95)
