An Improved Method for Small Target Recognition Based on Faster RCNN

As one of the most challenging tasks in the field of deep learning, target detection has achieved remarkable results. The existing algorithms have achieved excellent results in the detection of large and medium-sized targets, but the detection accuracy of small targets is not ideal because of their small size and weak features. A small target recognition method based on improved Faster_Rcnn that aims at the problem of low accuracy in small target detection is proposed in this paper. Since the ROI Pooling method in Faster Rcnn might cause quantization errors in the operation process, resulting in inaccurate positioning and other problems during detection, an improved ROI Align method is adopted to eliminate the quantization errors. The cell public data set is used for the experiment, the results show that the average recognition accuracy of the recognition model with improved algorithm is 92.11%, which is an increase of 7%. The method also obtains good effect on NWPU VHR-10 data set, which indicates that it has good universality.
