Improving Tire Specification Character Recognition in YOLOv5 Network
A method for improving the recognition of characters indicating specifications for automobile tires is proposed to address the issues of low efficiency and accuracy in character recognition.This method involves improving the YOLOv5 network by replacing the coupled head with a decoupled head to enhance the network's generalization ability.Additionally,a C3-Faster module is proposed to replace some C3 mod-ules in the YOLOv5 backbone and head,thereby increasing the network's computational speed.Finally,the WIoU loss function is selected to replace the CIoU loss function in YOLOv5 to optimize the network.Com-parative experiments have been conducted to verify the effectiveness of the C3-Faster and WIoU loss func-tion.The improved network reduced training time and increased mAP by 3.7%and precision by 2.1%in ablative experiments.The experimental results show that this method is effective in recognizing characters indicating specifications for automobile tires,improving recognition accuracy.
