Extraction of small, blurred targets using penguins as an example
摘要
The identification of the small and blurred targets remains a challenge in the field of computer vision. In this study, we used penguins in images as an example to address this problem. Here we propose an improved YOLOv5-based model (YOLOv5-H) that incorporates a generative adversarial network (GAN) to enhance image quality, introducing a dual-branch convolutional and a CSP for blurred and small objects (CSPBS). We also design a new dynamic convolution module (NDConv) for deep feature extraction. The results show that the parameter count of the YOLOv5-H model is approximately 1.97 times that of YOLOv5s. This substantial increase in model capacity directly improved detection accuracy: precision increased by 14.59%, recall by 74.70%, and mAP@0.5:0.95 by 60.49%. Given the similarities between unmanned aerial vehicles and satellite images, our method could be applied to satellite image processing.
