Research on improved fast-RCNN target detection algorithm based on Kolmogorov-Arnold network
摘要
To address the dual challenges of high parameter complexity and lack of interpretability in deep neural networks, this study proposes KAN-RCNN—a novel object detection framework based on the mathematical formulation of Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks (KANs). By integrating KANs with conventional CNN architectures, comparative experiments on the PASCAL VOC 2012 benchmark dataset demonstrate that KAN-RCNN achieves: 1) 13.6% parameter reduction compared to the original Faster R-CNN baseline; 2) 1.3% improvement in detection accuracy; 3) enhanced model interpretability. Through systematic validation with 1D synthetic signals, MNIST grayscale images, and multimodal data from PASCAL VOC 2012, the experimental results confirm that KAN-RCNN maintains competitive detection performance while attaining superior computational efficiency. This research provides new methodological insights for developing efficient and interpretable computer vision models.
