Abstract:

Aiming at the low accuracy of building target detection algorithm based on traditional convolutional neural network for small buildings, a small target detection algorithm model based on Mask-region convolutional neural networks (Mask-RCNN) model is proposed. The model improves the feature extraction network in Mask-RCNN model, and designs a multi-scale group convolution neural network with attention mechanism, which effectively solves the problem that small targets have few useful features and are easy to be disturbed by background features and noise. The experimental results of aerial images show that the improved detection model improves the target detection accuracy of small buildings by 28.9% compared with the original Mask-RCNN model, reaching 0.663. And the overall detection accuracy reaches 0.843, which effectively improves the accuracy of aerial building detection.

Key words: building detection, small target detection, convolutional neural network(CNN), feature extraction, attention mechanism
