Abstract

Drogue detection is one of the challenging tasks in autonomous aerial refueling due to the requirement for accuracy and rapidity.Saliency detection based on image intrinsic cues can achieve fast detection,but with poor accuracy.Recent studies reveal that optimization-based meth-ods provide accurate and quick solutions for saliency detection.This paper presents a hybrid pigeon-inspired optimization method,the optimized color opponent,that aims to adjust the weight of color opponent channels to detect the drogue region.It can optimize the weights in the selected aerial refueling scene offline,and the results are applied for drogue detection in the scene.A novel algorithm aggregated by the optimized color opponent and robust background detection is pre-sented to provide better precision and robustness.Experimental results on benchmark datasets and aerial refueling images show that the proposed method successfully extracts the saliency region or drogue and exhibits superior performance against the other saliency detection methods with intrinsic cues.The algorithm designed in this paper is competent for the drogue detection task of autonomous aerial refueling.
