Abstract

In order to solve the problem of low accuracy and residual error in small object detection on UAV aerial images, this paper proposed a new kind of multi-scale small target detection method based on enhanced lower feature. Basing on Faster R-CNN ResNet-50-FPN model, the algorithm enhanced the lower feature by designing the structure of DetNet-59 feature extraction network and Flat-FPN feature fusion network, and applied soft-NMS to face the appearance of overlapping small objects. From simulation test on VOC2007 and VisDrone2019, the method is able to increase mAP by 11% compared to the base model when time consumption is no more than 2%, and it also performs better in terms of accuracy than current common algorithms. It was proved that the algorithm can effectively improve the detection accuracy of small targets while ensuring real-time performance.
