To address these problems, this paper pro-poses a new detection algorithm： knowledge-based combined with improved genetic algorithm-fuzzy C-means （GA-FCM） algorithm. Firstly, the algorithm takes target region＇s maximum and average intensity, area, length of long axis and long-to-short axis ratio of the external ellipse as factors which influence the target appearing probabil- ity. The knowledge-based detection algorithm can produce preprocess results without the need of estimation of clutter models as CFAR does. Afterward the GA-FCM algorithm is improved to cluster pre-process results. It has advantages of incorporating global optimizing ability of GA and local optimizing ability of FCM, which will further eliminate false alarms and get better results. The effectiveness of the proposed technique is experimentally validated with real SAR images.展开更多

文摘This study combines ground penetrating radar(GPR)and convolutional neural networks for the intelligent detection of underground road targets.The target location was realized using a gradient-class activation map(Grad-CAM).First,GPR technology was used to detect roads and obtain radar images.This study constructs a radar image dataset containing 3000 underground road radar targets,such as underground pipelines and holes.Based on the dataset,a ResNet50 network was used to classify and train different underground targets.During training,the accuracy of the training set gradually increases and finally fluctuates approximately 85%.The loss function gradually decreases and falls between 0.2 and 0.3.Finally,targets were located using Grad-CAM.The positioning results of single and multiple targets are consistent with the actual position,indicating that the method can eff ectively realize the intelligent detection of underground targets in GPR.

文摘Object detection plays an important role in the sorting process of mechanical fasteners.Although object detection has been studied for many years,it has always been an industrial problem.Edge-based model matching is only suitable for a small range of illumination changes,and the matching accuracy is low.The optical flow method and the difference method are sensitive to noise and light,and camshift tracking is less effective in complex backgrounds.In this paper,an improved target detection method based on YOLOv3-tiny is proposed.The redundant regression box generated by the prediction network is filtered by soft nonmaximum suppression(NMS)instead of the hard decision NMS algorithm.This not only increases the size of the network structure by 52×52 and improves the detection accuracy of small targets but also uses the basic structure block MobileNetv2 in the feature extraction network,which enhances the feature extraction ability with the increased network layer and improves network performance.The experimental results show that the improved YOLOv3-tiny target detection algorithm improves the detection ability of bolts,nuts,screws and gaskets.The accuracy of a single type has been improved,which shows that the network greatly enhances the ability to learn objects with slightly complex features.The detection result of single shape features is slightly improved,which is higher than the recognition accuracy of other types.The average accuracy is increased from 0.813 to 0.839,an increase of two percentage points.The recall rate is increased from 0.804 to 0.821.

文摘Infrared small target detection technology plays a pivotal role in critical military applications,including early warning systems and precision guidance for missiles and other defense mechanisms.Nevertheless,existing traditional methods face several significant challenges,including low background suppression ability,low detection rates,and high false alarm rates when identifying infrared small targets in complex environments.This paper proposes a novel infrared small target detection method based on a transformed Gaussian filter kernel and clustering approach.The method provides improved background suppression and detection accuracy compared to traditional techniques while maintaining simplicity and lower computational costs.In the first step,the infrared image is filtered by a new filter kernel and the results of filtering are normalized.In the second step,an adaptive thresholding method is utilized to determine the pixels in small targets.In the final step,a fuzzy C-mean clustering algorithm is employed to group pixels in the same target,thus yielding the detection results.The results obtained from various real infrared image datasets demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method over traditional approaches.Compared with the traditional method of state of the arts detection method,the detection accuracy of the four sequences is increased by 2.06%,0.95%,1.03%,and 1.01%,respectively,and the false alarm rate is reduced,thus providing a more effective and robust solution.

文摘When the classical constant false-alarm rate （CFAR） combined with fuzzy C-means （FCM） algorithm is applied to target detection in synthetic aperture radar （SAR） images with complex background, CFAR requires block-by-block estimation of clutter models and FCM clustering converges to local optimum. To address these problems, this paper pro-poses a new detection algorithm： knowledge-based combined with improved genetic algorithm-fuzzy C-means （GA-FCM） algorithm. Firstly, the algorithm takes target region＇s maximum and average intensity, area, length of long axis and long-to-short axis ratio of the external ellipse as factors which influence the target appearing probabil- ity. The knowledge-based detection algorithm can produce preprocess results without the need of estimation of clutter models as CFAR does. Afterward the GA-FCM algorithm is improved to cluster pre-process results. It has advantages of incorporating global optimizing ability of GA and local optimizing ability of FCM, which will further eliminate false alarms and get better results. The effectiveness of the proposed technique is experimentally validated with real SAR images.
文摘The application of deep learning for target detection in aerial images captured by Unmanned Aerial Vehicles(UAV)has emerged as a prominent research focus.Due to the considerable distance between UAVs and the photographed objects,coupled with complex shooting environments,existing models often struggle to achieve accurate real-time target detection.In this paper,a You Only Look Once v8(YOLOv8)model is modified from four aspects:the detection head,the up-sampling module,the feature extraction module,and the parameter optimization of positive sample screening,and the YOLO-S3DT model is proposed to improve the performance of the model for detecting small targets in aerial images.Experimental results show that all detection indexes of the proposed model are significantly improved without increasing the number of model parameters and with the limited growth of computation.Moreover,this model also has the best performance compared to other detecting models,demonstrating its advancement within this category of tasks.

文摘An improved model based on you only look once version 8(YOLOv8)is proposed to solve the problem of low detection accuracy due to the diversity of object sizes in optical remote sensing images.Firstly,the feature pyramid network(FPN)structure of the original YOLOv8 mode is replaced by the generalized-FPN(GFPN)structure in GiraffeDet to realize the"cross-layer"and"cross-scale"adaptive feature fusion,to enrich the semantic information and spatial information on the feature map to improve the target detection ability of the model.Secondly,a pyramid-pool module of multi atrous spatial pyramid pooling(MASPP)is designed by using the idea of atrous convolution and feature pyramid structure to extract multi-scale features,so as to improve the processing ability of the model for multi-scale objects.The experimental results show that the detection accuracy of the improved YOLOv8 model on DIOR dataset is 92%and mean average precision(mAP)is 87.9%,respectively 3.5%and 1.7%higher than those of the original model.It is proved the detection and classification ability of the proposed model on multi-dimensional optical remote sensing target has been improved.
文摘Unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV)imagery poses significant challenges for object detection due to extreme scale variations,high-density small targets(68%in VisDrone dataset),and complex backgrounds.While YOLO-series models achieve speed-accuracy trade-offs via fixed convolution kernels and manual feature fusion,their rigid architectures struggle with multi-scale adaptability,as exemplified by YOLOv8n’s 36.4%mAP and 13.9%small-object AP on VisDrone2019.This paper presents YOLO-LE,a lightweight framework addressing these limitations through three novel designs:(1)We introduce the C2f-Dy and LDown modules to enhance the backbone’s sensitivity to small-object features while reducing backbone parameters,thereby improving model efficiency.(2)An adaptive feature fusion module is designed to dynamically integrate multi-scale feature maps,optimizing the neck structure,reducing neck complexity,and enhancing overall model performance.(3)We replace the original loss function with a distributed focal loss and incorporate a lightweight self-attention mechanism to improve small-object recognition and bounding box regression accuracy.Experimental results demonstrate that YOLO-LE achieves 39.9%mAP@0.5 on VisDrone2019,representing a 9.6%improvement over YOLOv8n,while maintaining 8.5 GFLOPs computational efficiency.This provides an efficient solution for UAV object detection in complex scenarios.

文摘Underwater target detection is extensively applied in domains such as underwater search and rescue,environmental monitoring,and marine resource surveys.It is crucial in enabling autonomous underwater robot operations and promoting ocean exploration.Nevertheless,low imaging quality,harsh underwater environments,and obscured objects considerably increase the difficulty of detecting underwater targets,making it difficult for current detection methods to achieve optimal performance.In order to enhance underwater object perception and improve target detection precision,we propose a lightweight underwater target detection method using You Only Look Once(YOLO)v8 with multi-scale cross-channel attention(MSCCA),named YOLOv8-UOD.In the proposed multiscale cross-channel attention module,multi-scale attention(MSA)augments the variety of attentional perception by extracting information from innately diverse sensory fields.The cross-channel strategy utilizes RepVGGbased channel shuffling(RCS)and one-shot aggregation(OSA)to rearrange feature map channels according to specific rules.It aggregates all features only once in the final feature mapping,resulting in the extraction of more comprehensive and valuable feature information.The experimental results show that the proposed YOLOv8-UOD achieves a mAP50 of 95.67%and FLOPs of 23.8 G on the Underwater Robot Picking Contest 2017(URPC2017)dataset,outperforming other methods in terms of detection precision and computational cost-efficiency.
文摘In recent years,with the development of synthetic aperture radar(SAR)technology and the widespread application of deep learning,lightweight detection of SAR images has emerged as a research direction.The ultimate goal is to reduce computational and storage requirements while ensuring detection accuracy and reliability,making it an ideal choice for achieving rapid response and efficient processing.In this regard,a lightweight SAR ship target detection algorithm based on YOLOv8 was proposed in this study.Firstly,the C2f-Sc module was designed by fusing the C2f in the backbone network with the ScConv to reduce spatial redundancy and channel redundancy between features in convolutional neural networks.At the same time,the Ghost module was introduced into the neck network to effectively reduce model parameters and computational complexity.A relatively lightweight EMA attention mechanism was added to the neck network to promote the effective fusion of features at different levels.Experimental results showed that the Parameters and GFLOPs of the improved model are reduced by 8.5%and 7.0%when mAP@0.5 and mAP@0.5:0.95 are increased by 0.7%and 1.8%,respectively.It makes the model lightweight and improves the detection accuracy,which has certain application value.

文摘In this paper,a reasoning enhancement method based on RGCN(Relational Graph Convolutional Network)is proposed to improve the detection capability of UAV(Unmanned Aerial Vehicle)on fast-moving military targets in urban battlefield environments.By combining military images with the publicly available VisDrone2019 dataset,a new dataset called VisMilitary was built and multiple YOLO(You Only Look Once)models were tested on it.Due to the low confidence problem caused by fuzzy targets,the performance of traditional YOLO models on real battlefield images decreases significantly.Therefore,we propose an improved RGCN inference model,which improves the performance of the model in complex environments by optimizing the data processing and graph network architecture.Experimental results show that the proposed method achieves an improvement of 0.4%to 1.7%on mAP@0.50,which proves the effectiveness of the model in military target detection.The research of this paper provides a new technical path for UAV target detection in urban battlefield,and provides important enlightenment for the application of deep learning in military field.
