AI Technical Summary
Existing remote sensing image target detection models struggle to effectively handle situations where objects in remote sensing images have a wide range of scales, extreme aspect ratios, arbitrary target distribution angles, and dense targets when using horizontal bounding boxes, resulting in low detection accuracy and the inability to obtain physical attributes.
We employ the attention mechanism module and multi-angle channel module from the YOLOv5 model, combined with the angle loss function, to construct a feature extraction and fusion network for rotating target detection. We improve detection accuracy by rotating anchor boxes and angle prediction.
It enables rapid and accurate detection of targets of different sizes and orientations in remote sensing images, improves the model's ability to identify dense targets, and obtains the rotation angle information of the targets, which is beneficial for subsequent data statistics.
