The invention discloses an MB-SSD method suitable for target detection. The method comprises the steps: extracting a plurality of small target images, and carrying out the enhancement of the extractedplurality of small target images through employing a generative adversarial network; constructing an MB-SSD feature extraction network, the MB-SSD feature extraction network comprising a main branchfeature extraction network, a branch feature extraction network and a positioning network, inputting the enhanced data into the MB-SSD feature extraction network, and respectively obtaining classification positioning results of the main branch feature extraction network and the branch feature extraction network; adjusting the output characteristics of the classification network according to the IoU overlap ratio of different candidate boxes in the same area on the positioning network; fusing the classification positioning results of the main branch feature extraction network and the branch feature extraction network, and performing dimension reduction; calculating model loss, training the model, and optimizing model parameters. According to the method, a method for adjusting the classification result by adding the relative overlap ratio into the classification layer can be added to improve the classification effect of the SSD algorithm, Meanwhile, the detection precision of the small target is effectively improved.
