Ncaf-yolo: a remote sensing image detection model for unmanned aerial vehicles’ vision
摘要
Object detection, as a core technology in computer vision, has achieved large-scale application in multiple fields by leveraging deep learning. However, the detection of small and dense targets in complex scenarios remains a challenging problem that urgently needs to be overcome. This issue becomes even more prominent in the task of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) remote sensing images due to the constraints of data, environment, and the inherent characteristics of the targets. Therefore, this paper proposes the UAV remote sensing image detection model NCAF-YOLO based on the improvement of YOLOv8s. This model improves the YOLOv8s network structure, designs the C2f-DCN module, integrates the CARAFE module, and proposes the FL-ShapeIoU loss function. The improved NCAF-YOLO model outperforms the YOLOv8s model on the VisDrone2019 dataset, with an increase of 5.9% in precision, 7.0% in recall, and 8.3% in
