A survey of image object detection algorithm based on deep learning by Tingting ZHANG, Jianwu ZHANG, Chunsheng GUO, Huahua CHEN, Di ZHOU, Yansong WANG, Aihua XU

“…Image object detection is to find out the objects of interest in the image and determine their classifications and locations.It is a research hotspot in the field of computer vision.In recent years,due to the significant improvement in the accuracy of image classification with deep learning,image object detection models based on deep learning have gradually became mainstream.Firstly,the convolutional neural networks commonly used in image object detection were briefly introduced.Then,the existing classical image object detection models were reviewed from the perspective of candidate regions,regression and anchor-free methods.Finally,according to the detection results on the public dataset,the advantages and disadvantages of the models were analyzed,the problems in the image object detection research were summarized and the future development was forecasted.…”

Towards edge-collaborative,lightweight and secure region proposal network by Jinbo XIONG, Renwan BI, Qianxin CHEN, Ximeng LIU

“…Aiming at the problem of image privacy leakage and computing efficiency in edge environment,a lightweight and secure region proposal network (SecRPN) was proposed.A series of secure computing protocols were designed based on the additive secret sharing scheme.Two non-collusive edge servers cooperate to perform calculation modules such as secure feature processing,secure anchor transformation,secure bounding-box correction,and secure non-maximum suppression.Theoretical analysis guarantees the correctness and security of SecRPN.The actual performance evaluation shows that SecRPN is outstanding in the computational cost and communication overhead compared with the existing works.…”

Patrol image analysis framework and deep learning method for power grid by Yuanning LI, Baifeng NING, Zhaojie DONG

“…With the development of intelligent manufacturing and IoT,UAV has been widely utilized by power grid enterprise in patrolling transmission lines.At the same time,massive patrol image data need to be analyzed urgently.A U2U image analysis framework was designed from user data collection,automatic annotation and to user feedback.Two deep learning methods,which were faster R-CNN and SSD,were explored and applied in U2U to detect five types of power components,including insulators,dampers,grading rings and shielding rings.A refining method based on K-means++ was proposed for the parameters of anchor box.Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed methods can effectively improve the adaptability and detection accuracy of deep learning method for multiple-scale power components and provide a useful reference for subsequent defect detection and deep application of UAV patrolling.…”
