An improved helmet detection method for YOLOv3 on an unbalanced dataset

摘要

The YOLOv3 target detection algorithm is widely used in industry due to its high speed and high accuracy, but it has some limitations, such as the accuracy degradation of unbalanced datasets. The YOLOv3 target detection algorithm is based on a Gaussian fuzzy data augmentation approach to pre-process the data set and improve the YOLOv3 target detection algorithm. Through the efficient pre-processing, the confidence level of YOLOv3 is generally improved by 0.01-0.02 without changing the recognition speed of YOLOv3, and the processed images also perform better in image localization due to effective feature fusion, which is more in line with the requirement of recognition speed and accuracy in production.
