YOLOV4-Balance:Object Detection Network Based on Sample Balance
In order to solve the problem that the algorithm has low detection accuracy for small targets due to insufficient number of small tar-get samples in the dataset and unbalanced distribution.Based on the multi-scale target detection model YOLOv4,YOLOv4-Balance was pro-posed which combines dynamic loss feedback and data augmentation.First,in order to balance the distribution of small target samples and en-rich the quality of small target samples in the data set,a data enhancement algorithm U-Mix based on image combination and stitching is pro-posed.Secondly,based on the Loss feedback during model training iterations,a multi-scale model training algorithm DLF(Dynamic loss feed-back)using dynamic Loss feedback is proposed to improve the contribution of the small target samples to the model during the training pro-cess.The experimental results show that in the MS COCO dataset,compared with the baseline model YOLOv4,the average accuracy of YO-LOv4-Balance is improved by 2.1%and the detection accuracy for small target samples is improved by 2.8%.The algorithm in this paper will not introduce additional computational overhead,and the model converges quickly,which is conducive to efficient training.
