Enhanced foreign body detection on coal mine conveyor belts using improved DLEA and lightweight SARC-DETR model
摘要
Conveyor belts in coal mines are critical for coal extraction and safety. Detecting foreign objects in low-light underground environments is challenging. This paper presents an enhanced foreign body detection algorithm using an improved Dual-Model Low-Light Enhancement Algorithm (DLEA) and a lightweight Star Attention Region-based Convolutional Detection Transformer (SARC-DETR). The DLEA improves image quality in low-light conditions, while SARC-DETR, with its StarNet backbone and Efficient Additive Attention mechanism, reduces computational costs without compromising accuracy. A lightweight dynamic group efficient module network is proposed for optimized feature extraction, and the CIoU loss function further enhances positioning accuracy. Experimental results demonstrate a 4.7% precision improvement, a 2.7% increase in average precision, a 47.01% reduction in parameters, and an inference speed of 97.3 FPS. This approach significantly boosts detection accuracy and real-time performance in coal mine conveyor belt foreign object detection.
