Abstract:

Infrared imaging seeker of anti-ship missile varies sharply in ship scale angle and its detection ability is poor when detecting small and weak ship targets. To solve this problem, a target detection algorithm based on improved YOLOv5s is proposed in this paper. Firstly, the depth separable convolution module is used to reduce the network model parameters. Secondly, the coordinate attention mechanism is introduced into the backbone network to improve the ability to pay attention to the target channel information features. Then, the adaptive spatial feature fusion strategy is used to optimize the spatial weight allocation. Finally, the loss function is improved to improve the reliability of the target detection frame. Comparative experiments verify that the proposed method improve the detection precision from the original 86.47% to 91.64%, and the mean average precision (mAP) index is improved from the original 85.56% to 89.35%. The improved algorithm also outperforms other target detection network models under the same conditions.
