Abstract:

For the observation of a picture, people may instinctly pay more attention to the eye-catching objects in the picture. Usually such objects tend to occupy a larger proportion in the picture, which leads to small targets being ignored. Because the area where the small target is located is often a weak detection area, and the features that can be extracted in the process of extracting features by the detector are few and are easily lost in the process of feature information transmission after the feature is extracted, the effect of small target detection is not good. Therefore, on the basis of the single-order detector, this paper adds a cross-channel interaction mechanism to ensure the integrity of the information between layers, adopts target enhancement of training samples and designs a general loss function. Apart from this, this paper improves the sample weighting on the basis of the loss function to predict weight of samples. The mAP of this paper framework UWN (unified weighted network) on the VOC public dataset is 81.2% and the mAP on the self-made small target aerial photography dataset is 82.3%. Compared with the FSSD algorithm, some speed is sacrificed, and the accuracy is greatly improved.

Key words: small target detection, target enhancement, cross-channel interaction, weighted network

摘要:

对于一幅图的观察,本能上会更多关注这幅图中相对更醒目的对象。通常这类对象会在这幅图中占据较大比重,从而导致小目标被忽视。由于小目标所在区域往往为弱测区域,检测器提取特征的过程中能够提取的特征较少,且在提取完特征后在特征信息传递的过程中容易丢失,使得针对小目标检测的效果并不是很好。因此,在单阶检测器的基础上,加入了跨信道交互的机制确保层间信息的完整,同时采取对训练样本进行目标增强并且设计了一个通用的损失函数,在此基础上改进样本加权网络预测样本的任务权重。提出的框架UWN在VOC公开数据集上的mAP为81.2%,在自制的小目标航拍数据集的mAP为82.3%。相对于FSSD算法,牺牲了部分速度,得到了精度方面的较大提升。
