AI Technical Summary
Existing real-time target detection methods for UAVs have shortcomings in detection speed and accuracy, especially in detecting small targets in high-resolution UAV aerial images, where the rates of missed detection and false detection are high, and existing models are difficult to meet real-time requirements.
The network structure of YOLOv5 v5.0 has been improved, including the introduction of spatial-channel attention modules in the backbone network and feature fusion network, the addition of self-attention modules, and the improvement of the CIOU bounding box regression loss function, enabling real-time object detection on a local server with powerful computing resources.
It achieves real-time target detection on UAV video streams, with fast detection speed to meet real-time requirements, high detection accuracy, and low false positive and false negative rates. In particular, the detection effect of small targets is significantly improved.
