The automatic docking of airport special vehicles is an inevitable requirement for the development of smart airports in the future;It is the key step for automatic docking is to accurately identify and locate aircraft door.Aiming at this problem,an air-craft door recognition and positioning method based on improved YOLOv5 and monocular vision is proposed.By adding a lightweight convolutional block attention module(CBAM)in the model,the algorithm improves its ability to extract features from aircraft doors;A spatial pyramid pooling cross stage partial connection(SPPCSPC)is introduced to solve the problem of repetitive feature extraction in YOLOv5,and improving the number of group convolution groups to 4 and the detection accuracy of the algorithm;The pixels of corner points in the candidate frame are obtained,and the spatial geometric relationships are utilized to achieve the accurate three-di-mensional positioning of the aircraft door.The experimental results show that the mean average precision(mAP)of improved YOLOv5 algorithm reaches 96.5%,the mAP of improved algorithm is 5.6%higher than that of the original algorithm.The real-time maximum positioning errors of 19 m and 1 m in front of the aircraft door are 0.15 m and 0.01 m,respectively,which can meet the re-quirements of maintaining a safe distance of 5~10 cm from the aircraft door after the docking of special vehicles.
