Small object detection method for mining face based on improved YOLOv8n
In order to effectively detect and recognize whether the personnel on the mining face in coal mines are wearing safety protection devices,a small object detection method based on improved YOLOv8n is proposed.It is applied in situations such as poor underground lighting conditions,small object sizes of safety protection device,and similar colors to the background.The method integrates Dynamic Snake Convolution(DSConv)into the C2f module of YOLOv8n backbone network to construct a C2f DSConv module,in order to enhance the model's capability to extract multi-scale features.The method introduces polarized self-attention(PSA)mechanism in the Neck layer to reduce information loss and improve feature expression capability.The method adds one detection head specifically designed for small objects at the Head layer,forming a four detection head structure to expand the detection range of the model.The experimental results show that the improved YOLOv8n model has an average precision of 98.3％,95.8％,89.9％,87.2％,and 90.8％for detecting underground personnel and their safety helmets,mining lights,masks,and self rescue devices,respectively.The average precision is 92.4％,which is better than Faster R-CNN,YOLOv5s,YOLOv7,and YOLOv8n models.The detection speed reaches 208 frames per second,meeting the requirements of object detection precision and real-time performance in coal mines.
