Evolutionary Structure Optimization of Hierarchical Neural Network for Image Recognition

The important strategic position of military UAVs and the wide application of civil UAVs in many fields, they all mark the arrival of the era of unmanned aerial vehicles. At present, in the field of image research, recognition and real-time tracking of specific objects in images has been a technology that many scholars continue to study in depth and need to be further tackled. Image recognition and real-time tracking technology has been widely used in UAV aerial photography. Through the analysis of convolution neural network algorithm and the comparison of image recognition technology, the convolution neural network algorithm is improved to improve the image recognition effect. In this paper, a target detection technique based on improved Faster R-CNN is proposed. The algorithm model is implemented and the classification accuracy is improved through Faster R-CNN network optimization. Aiming at the problem of small target error detection and scale difference in aerial data sets, this paper designs the network structure of RPN and the optimization scheme of related algorithms. The structure of Faster R-CNN is adjusted by improving the embedding of CNN and OHEM algorithm, the accuracy of small target and multitarget detection is improved as a whole. The experimental results show that: compared with LENET-5, the recognition accuracy of the proposed algorithm is significantly improved. And with the increase of the number of samples, the accuracy of this algorithm is 98.9%.

AbstractRestricted Boltzmann Machines (RBMs) have been proposed for developing neural networks for a variety of unsupervised machine learning applications such as image recognition, drug discovery, and materials design. The Boltzmann probability distribution is used as a model to identify network parameters by optimizing the likelihood of predicting an output given hidden states trained on available data. Training such networks often requires sampling over a large probability space that must be approximated during gradient based optimization. Quantum annealing has been proposed as a means to search this space more efficiently which has been experimentally investigated on D-Wave hardware. D-Wave implementation requires selection of an effective inverse temperature or hyperparameter ($$\beta $$ β ) within the Boltzmann distribution which can strongly influence optimization. Here, we show how this parameter can be estimated as a hyperparameter applied to D-Wave hardware during neural network training by maximizing the likelihood or minimizing the Shannon entropy. We find both methods improve training RBMs based upon D-Wave hardware experimental validation on an image recognition problem. Neural network image reconstruction errors are evaluated using Bayesian uncertainty analysis which illustrate more than an order magnitude lower image reconstruction error using the maximum likelihood over manually optimizing the hyperparameter. The maximum likelihood method is also shown to out-perform minimizing the Shannon entropy for image reconstruction.
