AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In complex environments, the accuracy and recall rate of small target detection are low, mainly because Query's attention range is too wide, resulting in the small target information being masked by the information of significant targets.

Method used

The small object detection method based on Manhattan attention is adopted. By introducing a decay matrix into Query, the attention range of Query is limited, so that it only focuses on tokens containing small object information in a small range, thereby avoiding information masking.

Benefits of technology

The detection accuracy and recall of small targets are significantly improved, ensuring that the model can effectively identify small targets in complex environments.

Abstract

The invention provides a small target detection method based on Manhattan attention and multi-scale feature query. A specific network of the small target detection method comprises a backbone network, a context sensing Query generation module, an encoder based on deformable self-attention and a decoder based on deformable and Manhattan attention. In a decoder based on deformable and Manhattan attention, deformable attention is used to perform global target detection on feature vectors output by an encoder. The multi-layer Manhattan attention is used to perform local target detection on the feature vector. The multi-layer Manhattan attention has the characteristic of multi-scale Manhattan attention. The small target detection method based on Manhattan attention and multi-scale feature query provided by the invention can effectively improve the accuracy and recall rate of small targets in a scene in which large, medium and small targets exist at the same time.
