Detection of Foreign Bodies in Transmission Line Channels Based on Fusion of Swin Transformer and YOLOv5

To address the challenges of complex detection background and poor detection performance for small targets, a transmission line channel security detection algorithm based on the fusion of window self-attention network and the YOLOv5 model is proposed. First, the Swin Transformer (S-T) is employed to optimize the backbone network, expanding the perception field of the model and enhancing its ability to extract effective information. Then, the adaptive spatial feature fusion (ASFF) module is improved to enhance the feature fusion ability of the model. Finally, considering the mismatch between the real frame and the predicted frame, the structural similarity intersection over union (SIoU) is introduced to optimize the boundary errors and improve the generalization ability of the model. The experimental results show that the model proposed achieves a multi-target intrusion detection accuracy of 90.2%, and with significant improvements in the detection of small targets. This approach better meets the requirements of foreign object detection in transmission line channels compared to other object detection algorithms.
