Description
Summary:The Yolov4 detection algorithm does not sufficiently extract local semantic and location information. This study aims to solve this problem by proposing a Yolov4-based multiscale feature fusion detection system for high-speed train wheel tread defects. First, multiscale feature maps are obtained from a feature extraction backbone network. The proposed multiscale feature fusion network then fuses the underlying features of the original three scales. These fused features contain more defect semantic information and location details. Based on the fused features, a path aggregation network is used to fuse feature maps at different resolutions, with an improved loss function that speeds up the convergence of the network. Experimental results show that the proposed method is effective at detecting defects in the wheel treads of high-speed trains.
