Popis
Shrnutí:To address the problems that exist in the target detection of vehicle-mounted visual sensors in foggy environments, a vehicle target detection method based on an improved YOLOX network is proposed. Firstly, to address the issue of vehicle target feature loss in foggy traffic scene images, specific characteristics of fog-affected imagery are integrated into the network training process. This not only augments the training data but also improves the robustness of the network in foggy environments. Secondly, the YOLOX network is optimized by adding attention mechanisms and an image enhancement module to improve feature extraction and training. Additionally, by combining this with the characteristics of foggy environment images, the loss function is optimized to further improve the target detection performance of the network in foggy environments. Finally, transfer learning is applied during the training process, which not only accelerates network convergence and shortens the training time but also further improves the robustness of the network in different environments. Compared with YOLOv5, YOLOv7, and Faster R-CNN networks, the mAP of the improved network increased by 13.57%, 10.3%, and 9.74%, respectively. The results of the comparative experiments from different aspects illustrated that the proposed method significantly enhances the detection performance for vehicle targets in foggy environments.
