Abstract

The application discloses a real-time target detection method based on a UAV video stream, four-point improvement is first carried out on a YOLOv5v5.0 version to obtain an improved YOLOv5 network, then the improved YOLOv5 network is trained to obtain a target detection model, the target detection model is stored in a local server, then a streaming server based on a real-time picture of a UAV is built, the UAV end video stream is pulled through the streaming server, finally the local server obtains the video stream from the streaming server, real-time target detection is carried out on the video stream pulled by the streaming server by using the target detection model, and a target detection result is obtained; the method has the advantages of fast detection speed, the ability to meet real-time detection requirements, high detection precision, and low missing detection rate and false detection rate of small-size targets.
