Object detection algorithm based on residual deformable convolution

Considering the challenges associated with robots in optoelectronic imaging applications, typically require real-time and accurate recognition and localization of targets, especially in complex environments. Due to the potential challenges of noise, blurring, or dense targets in the images obtained by optoelectronic imaging systems, traditional object detection algorithms may face issues such as semantic information loss and difficulty in detecting small targets. By introducing residual deformable convolution structures, feature representation can be enhanced in optoelectronic imaging systems, and the shape of the convolution kernel can be dynamically adjusted to adapt to the non rigid deformation of the target, thereby better capturing the detailed features of small targets. Experimental results exhibit that RAFPN enhances the mAP of object detection algorithms RetinaNet, Faster R-CNN, and GFL by 1.2%, 0.9%, and 1.1% respectively on the MS COCO dataset, effectively enhancing the performance of object detection algorithms in optoelectronic imaging.
