Abstract:

Aiming at the high missed detection rates and low accuracy of existing YOLO for occlusion and multi-scale pedestrian targets, an improved pedestrian detection algorithm is proposed. YOLO backbone is modified to enhance the capabilities of cross-scale feature extraction. To increase thepedestrian feature fusion capabilities of different scales, a spatial pyramid pooling module and two attention mechanisms are introduced at different positions in front of YOLO layers. Aiming at the detection performance degradation due to the extreme complexity of network module and to improve the model training efficiency, the network structure is pruned according to the actual situation. Experimental results show that compared with YOLOv3 etc, YOLO-SSC-s model can effectively improve the medium and small pedestrian targets detection accuracy and speed, and reduce the missed detection rates under the condition of occlusion.

Key words: pedestrian detection, you only look once(YOLO), occlusion, attention mechanisms
