Underwater organisms are an important part of the underwater ecological environment. More and more attention has been paid to the perception of underwater ecological environment by intelligent means, such as machine vision. However, many objective reasons affect the accuracy of underwater biological detection, such as the low-quality image, different sizes or shapes, and overlapping or occlusion of underwater organisms. Therefore, this paper proposes an underwater biological detection algorithm based on improved Faster-RCNN. Firstly, the ResNet is used as the backbone feature extraction network of Faster-RCNN. Then, BiFPN (Bidirectional Feature Pyramid Network) is used to build a ResNet–BiFPN structure which can improve the capability of feature extraction and multi-scale feature fusion. Additionally, EIoU (Effective IoU) is used to replace IoU to reduce the proportion of redundant bounding boxes in the training data. Moreover, K-means++ clustering is used to generate more suitable anchor boxes to improve detection accuracy. Finally, the experimental results show that the detection accuracy of underwater biological detection algorithm based on improved Faster-RCNN on URPC2018 dataset is improved to 88.94%, which is 8.26% higher than Faster-RCNN. The results fully prove the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

Scale Detection

As a precursor step for computer vision algorithms, object detection plays an important role in various practical application scenarios. With the objects to be detected becoming more complex, the problem of multi-scale object detection has attracted more and more attention, especially in the field of remote sensing detection. Early convolutional neural network detection algorithms are mostly based on artificially preset anchor-boxes to divide different regions in the image, and then obtain the prior position of the target. However, the anchor box is difficult to set reasonably and will cause a large amount of computational redundancy, which affects the generality of the detection model obtained under fixed parameters. In the past two years, anchor-free detection algorithm has achieved remarkable development in the field of detection on natural image. However, there is no sufficient research on how to deal with multi-scale detection more effectively in anchor-free framework and use these detectors on remote sensing images. In this paper, we propose a specific-attention Feature Pyramid Network (FPN) module, which is able to generate a feature pyramid, basing on the characteristics of objects with various sizes. In addition, this pyramid suits multi-scale object detection better. Besides, a scale-aware detection head is proposed which contains a multi-receptive feature fusion module and a size-based feature compensation module. The new anchor-free detector can obtain a more effective multi-scale feature expression. Experiments on challenging datasets show that our approach performs favorably against other methods in terms of the multi-scale object detection performance.

The conveyor belt is an indispensable piece of conveying equipment for a mine whose deviation caused by roller sticky material and uneven load distribution is the most common failure during operation. In this paper, a real-time conveyor belt detection algorithm based on a multi-scale feature fusion network is proposed, which mainly includes two parts: the feature extraction module and the deviation detection module. The feature extraction module uses a multi-scale feature fusion network structure to fuse low-level features with rich position and detail information and high-level features with stronger semantic information to improve network detection performance. Depthwise separable convolutions are used to achieve real-time detection. The deviation detection module identifies and monitors the deviation fault by calculating the offset of conveyor belt. In particular, a new weighted loss function is designed to optimize the network and to improve the detection effect of the conveyor belt edge. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed method, the Canny algorithm, FCNs, UNet and Deeplab v3 networks are selected for comparison. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm achieves 78.92% in terms of pixel accuracy (PA), and reaches 13.4 FPS (Frames per Second) with the error of less than 3.2 mm, which outperforms the other four algorithms.

At present, object detectors based on convolution neural networks generally rely on the last layer of features extracted by the feature extraction network. In the process of continuous convolution and pooling of deep features, the position information cannot be completely transferred backward. This paper proposes a multiscale feature reuse detection model, which includes the basic feature extraction network DenseNet, feature fusion network, multiscale anchor region proposal network, and classification and regression network. The fusion of high-dimensional features and low-dimensional features not only strengthens the model's sensitivity to objects of different sizes but also strengthens the transmission of information, so that the feature map has rich deep semantic information and shallow location information at the same time, which significantly improves the robustness and detection accuracy of the model. The algorithm is trained and tested in Pascal VOC2007 dataset. The experimental results show that the mean average precision of the objects in the dataset is 73.87%. At the same time, compared with the mainstream faster RCNN and SSD detection models, the mean average precision of object detection algorithm based on DenseNet is improved by 5.63% and 3.86%, respectively.

Defect detection of electromagnetic luminescence (EL) cells is the core step in the production and preparation of solar cell modules to ensure conversion efficiency and long service life of batteries. However, due to the lack of feature extraction capability for small feature defects, the traditional single shot multibox detector (SSD) algorithm performs not well in EL defect detection with high accuracy. Consequently, an improved SSD algorithm with modification in feature fusion in the framework of deep learning is proposed to improve the recognition rate of EL multi-class defects. A dataset containing images with four different types of defects through rotation, denoising, and binarization is established for the EL. The proposed algorithm can greatly improve the detection accuracy of the small-scale defect with the idea of feature pyramid networks. An experimental study on the detection of the EL defects shows the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm. Moreover, a comparison study shows the proposed method outperforms other traditional detection methods, such as the SIFT, Faster R-CNN, and YOLOv3, in detecting the EL defect.

For autonomous vehicles, it is critical to be aware of the driving environment to avoid collisions and drive safely. The recent evolution of convolutional neural networks has contributed significantly to accelerating the development of object detection techniques that enable autonomous vehicles to handle rapid changes in various driving environments. However, collisions in an autonomous driving environment can still occur due to undetected obstacles and various perception problems, particularly occlusion. Thus, we propose a robust object detection algorithm for environments in which objects are truncated or occluded by employing RGB image and light detection and ranging (LiDAR) bird’s eye view (BEV) representations. This structure combines independent detection results obtained in parallel through “you only look once” networks using an RGB image and a height map converted from the BEV representations of LiDAR’s point cloud data (PCD). The region proposal of an object is determined via non-maximum suppression, which suppresses the bounding boxes of adjacent regions. A performance evaluation of the proposed scheme was performed using the KITTI vision benchmark suite dataset. The results demonstrate the detection accuracy in the case of integration of PCD BEV representations is superior to when only an RGB camera is used. In addition, robustness is improved by significantly enhancing detection accuracy even when the target objects are partially occluded when viewed from the front, which demonstrates that the proposed algorithm outperforms the conventional RGB-based model.

Insulator detection is an essential task for the safety and reliable operation of intelligent grids. Owing to insulator images including various background interferences, most traditional image-processing methods cannot achieve good performance. Some You Only Look Once (YOLO) networks are employed to meet the requirements of actual applications for insulator detection. To achieve a good trade-off among accuracy, running time, and memory storage, this work proposes the modified YOLO-tiny for insulator (MTI-YOLO) network for insulator detection in complex aerial images. First of all, composite insulator images are collected in common scenes and the “CCIN_detection” (Chinese Composite INsulator) dataset is constructed. Secondly, to improve the detection accuracy of different sizes of insulator, multi-scale feature detection headers, a structure of multi-scale feature fusion, and the spatial pyramid pooling (SPP) model are adopted to the MTI-YOLO network. Finally, the proposed MTI-YOLO network and the compared networks are trained and tested on the “CCIN_detection” dataset. The average precision (AP) of our proposed network is 17% and 9% higher than YOLO-tiny and YOLO-v2. Compared with YOLO-tiny and YOLO-v2, the running time of the proposed network is slightly higher. Furthermore, the memory usage of the proposed network is 25.6% and 38.9% lower than YOLO-v2 and YOLO-v3, respectively. Experimental results and analysis validate that the proposed network achieves good performance in both complex backgrounds and bright illumination conditions.

The existing pedestrian detection algorithms cannot effectively extract features of heavily occluded targets which results in lower detection accuracy. To solve the heavy occlusion in crowds, we propose a multi-scale feature pyramid network based on ResNet (MFPN) to enhance the features of occluded targets and improve the detection accuracy. MFPN includes two modules, namely double feature pyramid network (FPN) integrated with ResNet (DFR) and repulsion loss of minimum (RLM). We propose the double FPN which improves the architecture to further enhance the semantic information and contours of occluded pedestrians, and provide a new way for feature extraction of occluded targets. The features extracted by our network can be more separated and clearer, especially those heavily occluded pedestrians. Repulsion loss is introduced to improve the loss function which can keep predicted boxes away from the ground truths of the unrelated targets. Experiments carried out on the public CrowdHuman dataset, we obtain 90.96% AP which yields the best performance, 5.16% AP gains compared to the FPN-ResNet50 baseline. Compared with the state-of-the-art works, the performance of the pedestrian detection system has been boosted with our method.

Abstract Aiming at the problem of false detection and missed detection of small targets and occluded targets in the process of pedestrian detection, a pedestrian detection algorithm based on improved multi-scale feature fusion is proposed. First, for the YOLOv4 multi-scale feature fusion module PANet, which does not consider the interaction relationship between scales, PANet is improved to reduce the semantic gap between scales, and the attention mechanism is introduced to learn the importance of different layers to strengthen feature fusion; then, dilated convolution is introduced. Dilated convolution reduces the problem of information loss during the downsampling process; finally, the K-means clustering algorithm is used to redesign the anchor box and modify the loss function to detect a single category. The experimental results show that the improved pedestrian detection algorithm in the INRIA and WiderPerson data sets under different congestion conditions, the AP reaches 96.83% and 59.67%, respectively. Compared with the pedestrian detection results of the YOLOv4 model, the algorithm improves by 2.41% and 1.03%, respectively. The problem of false detection and missed detection of small targets and occlusion has been significantly improved.

In order to make the classification and regression of single-stage detectors more accurate, an object detection algorithm named Global Context You-Only-Look-Once v3 (GC-YOLOv3) is proposed based on the You-Only-Look-Once (YOLO) in this paper. Firstly, a better cascading model with learnable semantic fusion between a feature extraction network and a feature pyramid network is designed to improve detection accuracy using a global context block. Secondly, the information to be retained is screened by combining three different scaling feature maps together. Finally, a global self-attention mechanism is used to highlight the useful information of feature maps while suppressing irrelevant information. Experiments show that our GC-YOLOv3 reaches a maximum of 55.5 object detection mean Average Precision (mAP)@0.5 on Common Objects in Context (COCO) 2017 test-dev and that the mAP is 5.1% higher than that of the YOLOv3 algorithm on Pascal Visual Object Classes (PASCAL VOC) 2007 test set. Therefore, experiments indicate that the proposed GC-YOLOv3 model exhibits optimal performance on the PASCAL VOC and COCO datasets.
