In the image object detection task, a huge number of candidate boxes are generated to match with a relatively very small amount of ground-truth boxes, and through this method the learning samples can be created. But in fact the vast majority of the candidate boxes do not contain valid object instances and should be recognized and rejected during the training and evaluation of the network. This leads to extra high computation burden and a serious imbalance problem between object and none-object samples, thereby impeding the algorithm’s performance. Here we propose a new heuristic sampling method to generate candidate boxes for two-stage detection algorithms. It is generally applicable to the current two-stage detection algorithms to improve their detection performance. Experiments on COCO dataset showed that, relative to the baseline model, this new method could significantly increase the detection accuracy and efficiency.

The detection of defects on irregular surfaces with specular reflection characteristics is an important part of the production process of sanitary equipment. Currently, defect detection algorithms for most irregular surfaces rely on the handcrafted extraction of shallow features, and the ability to recognize these defects is limited. To improve the detection accuracy of micro-defects on irregular surfaces in an industrial environment, we propose an improved Faster R-CNN model. Considering the variety of defect shapes and sizes, we selected the K-Means algorithm to generate the aspect ratio of the anchor box according to the size of the ground truth, and the feature matrices are fused with different receptive fields to improve the detection performance of the model. The experimental results show that the recognition accuracy of the improved model is 94.6% on a collected ceramic dataset. Compared with SVM (Support Vector Machine) and other deep learning-based models, the proposed model has better detection performance and robustness to illumination, which proves the practicability and effectiveness of the proposed method.

Object detection in images is an important task in image processing and computer vision. Many approaches are available for object detection. For example, there are numerous algorithms for object positioning and classification in images. However, the current methods perform poorly and lack experimental verification. Thus, it is a fascinating and challenging issue to position and classify image objects. Drawing on the recent advances in image object detection, this paper develops a region-baed efficient network for accurate object detection in images. To improve the overall detection performance, image object detection was treated as a twofold problem, involving object proposal generation and object classification. First, a framework was designed to generate high-quality, class-independent, accurate proposals. Then, these proposals, together with their input images, were imported to our network to learn convolutional features. To boost detection efficiency, the number of proposals was reduced by a network refinement module, leaving only a few eligible candidate proposals. After that, the refined candidate proposals were loaded into the detection module to classify the objects. The proposed model was tested on the test set of the famous PASCAL Visual Object Classes Challenge 2007 (VOC2007). The results clearly demonstrate that our model achieved robust overall detection efficiency over existing approaches using fewer or more proposals, in terms of recall, mean average best overlap (MABO), and mean average precision (mAP).
