Abstract:

Aiming at the complex multi-scale object detection environment on the aircraft carrier surface, and the poor performance of existing algorithms for small objects such as tractors and personnel, an improved faster region convolutional neural netuorks(Faster R-CNN) aircraft carrier surface multi-scale object detection algorithm is proposed. Based on the multi-scale feature layer, the region proposal network of different scales is extracted, which improves the detection performance of the algorithm for objects of different scales, especially small objects. Based on the K-means clustering algorithm, a prior box suitable for the aircraft carrier surface object dataset is generated, which further improves the performance of the algorithm. Experiments show that the proposed algorithm effectively improves the detection performance for different scales of objects, especially the detection effect of small objects, and conducts ablation experiments on the improved algorithm. Finally, the performance of different algorithms is compared, which shows that the detection accuracy of the proposed algorithm achieveds the optimal level.
