摘要

The monitoring equipment installed atop tower cranes plays a crucial role in detecting potential safety hazards around construction workers. However, due to the small size of the targets involved in detection tasks and the occlusions caused by extreme weather conditions such as heavy rain and snow, traditional object detection methods struggle to capture global contextual information, thereby affecting overall detection performance.To address these issues, we propose a novel method named SHM-YOLO for detecting occluded small objects from top-down views of tower cranes. This method is based on the You Only Look Once Version 11n (YOLOv11n). Our approach begins with the construction of a backbone network that incorporates a Haar Wavelet Downsampling (HWD) module, endowing the network with HWD mapping capabilities and lightweight characteristics. Secondly, we design a Neck network that integrates a Separated and Enhancement Attention Module (SEAM), which reduces the impact of occlusions and enables the network to focus more effectively on image features. Finally, we employ Inner-MPDIoU to enhance the network's overall performance. Compared to the YOLOv8n, SHM-YOLO demonstrates a 4.80 percentage point improvement in precision on our custom-built Overlooking Picture (OP) datasets and a 6.03 percentage point improvement on the custom-built Rain-Snow Overlooking Picture (RSOP) datasets. Additionally, the overall parameter count is reduced by 19%, the GFLOPs is decreased by 23%, and the speed satisfies real-time detection requirements. Compared to original YOLOv11n, the detection precision improved by 2.52 percentage points on the OP dataset and by 2.22 percentage points on the RSOP dataset. The results indicate that SHM-YOLO excels at detecting occluded objects under extreme weather conditions, thereby fulfilling the practical requirements of real-world applications.
