Improved Object Detection Algorithm Based on Multi-scale and Variability Convolutional Neural Networks
IECE Transactions on Emerging Topics in Artificial Intelligence | Volume 1, Issue 1: 31-43, 2024 | DOI: 10.62762/TETAI.2024.115892
Abstract
This paper proposes an improved object detection algorithm based on a dynamically deformable convolutional network (D-DCN), aiming to solve the multi-scale and variability challenges in object detection tasks. First, we review traditional methods in the field of object detection and introduce the current research status of improved methods based on multi-scale and variability convolutional neural networks. Then, we introduce in detail our proposed improved algorithms, including an improved feature pyramid network and a dynamically deformable network. In the improved feature pyramid network, we introduce a multi-scale feature fusion mechanism to better capture target information at different... More >

Real-Time Object Detection Using a Lightweight Two-Stage Detection Network with Efficient Data Representation
IECE Transactions on Emerging Topics in Artificial Intelligence | Volume 1, Issue 1: 17-30, 2024 | DOI: 10.62762/TETAI.2024.320179
Abstract
In this paper, we introduce a novel fast object detection framework, designed to meet the needs of real-time applications such as autonomous driving and robot navigation. Traditional processing methods often trade-off between accuracy and processing speed. To address this issue, we propose a hybrid data representation method that combines the computational efficiency of voxelization with the detail capture capability of direct data processing to optimize overall performance. Our detection framework comprises two main components: a Rapid Region Proposal Network (RPN) and a Refinement Detection Network (RefinerNet). The RPN is used to generate high-quality candidate regions, while the RefinerN... More >

YOLOv8-Lite: A Lightweight Object Detection Model for Real-time Autonomous Driving Systems
IECE Transactions on Emerging Topics in Artificial Intelligence | Volume 1, Issue 1: 1-16, 2024 | DOI: 10.62762/TETAI.2024.894227
Abstract
With the rapid development of autonomous driving technology, the demand for real-time and efficient object detection systems has been increasing to ensure vehicles can accurately perceive and respond to the surrounding environment. Traditional object detection models often suffer from issues such as large parameter sizes and high computational resource consumption, limiting their applicability on edge devices. To address this issue, we propose a lightweight object detection model called YOLOv8-Lite, based on the YOLOv8 framework, and improved through various enhancements including the adoption of the FastDet structure, TFPN pyramid structure, and CBAM attention mechanism. These improvement... More >
