To address the challenges of modal differences in multimodal farmland images and insufficient segmentation accuracy for small targets, this paper proposes a multi-source image fusion branch (DAMFusion) based on modal competitive selection. The branch dynamically selects infrared and visible light features through the Competitive Query Module (CQM) using Top-K screening, combined with IOU-aware loss optimization to avoid cross-modal interference. The multimodal fusion module (MMFormer) employs cross-modal attention and symmetric mechanisms, enhancing single-modal features through a self-enhancement module and unifying multimodal distributions via linear projection. The Boundary Region Attention Multi-level Fusion Module (BRM) extracts boundary information through feature differencing, strengthens it with spatial attention, and fuses it with shallow features to achieve cross-layer detail recovery. Through the collaborative design of dynamic modal feature selection, cross-modal distribution unification, and boundary region enhancement, DAMFusion effectively solves the problems of multimodal differences and small target segmentation in multispectral images, providing precise feature representation for fine farmland segmentation. Experiments on the OUC-UAV-MSEG dataset show that DAMFusion achieves 93.25% OA, 91.71% F1, and 89.70% mIoU, demonstrating clear advantages over representative comparison methods. In addition, ablation results verify the effectiveness of the proposed modules, where CQM improves OA from 91.00% to 93.25%, confirming the importance of discriminative modality selection before fusion.
