EF-RT-DETR: a efficient focused real-time DETR model for pavement distress detection
摘要
The classification and localization of road distress play a crucial role in intelligent road health monitoring systems. To address the challenges of complex road backgrounds, diverse shapes of distress objects, and high computational resource requirements, this paper proposes an efficient focusing real-time road distress detection model (EF-RT-DETR). Based on RT-DETR, the model designs a new backbone network aimed at accurately capturing fine features and optimizes the attention mechanism to effectively reduce interference from complex backgrounds while enhancing the processing of detailed information. Additionally, an innovative fusion module is introduced in the feature fusion stage to further enhance the interaction between local and global features, while also reducing computational costs. Experiments conducted on the China_Motorbike subset of the RDD2022 dataset include ablation studies to validate the effectiveness of the proposed modules. The experimental results show that EF-RT-DETR reduced background false positives compared to the baseline model, with
