Target detection on the sea-surface has always been a high-profile problem, and the detection of weak targets is one of the most difficult problems and the key issue under this problem. Traditional techniques, such as imaging, cannot effectively detect these types of targets, so researchers choose to start by mining the characteristics of the received echoes and other aspects for target detection. This paper proposes a false alarm rate (FAR) controllable deep forest model based on six-dimensional feature space for efficient and accurate detection of weak targets on the sea-surface. This is the first attempt at the deep forest model in this field. The validity of the model was verified on IPIX data, and the detection probability was compared with other proposed methods. Under the same FAR condition, the average detection accuracy rate of the proposed method could reach over 99.19%, which is 9.96% better than the results of the current most advanced method (K-NN FAR-controlled Detector). Experimental results show that multi-feature fusion and the use of a suitable detection framework have a positive effect on the detection of weak targets on the sea-surface.

Countries around the world have paid increasing attention to the issue of marine security, and sea target detection is a key task to ensure marine safety. Therefore, it is of great significance to propose an efficient and accurate sea-surface target detection algorithm. The anchor-setting method of the traditional YOLO v3 only uses the degree of overlap between the anchor and the ground-truth box as the standard. As a result, the information of some feature maps cannot be used, and the required accuracy of target detection is hard to achieve in a complex sea environment. Therefore, two new anchor-setting methods for the visual detection of sea targets were proposed in this paper: the average method and the select-all method. In addition, cross PANet, a feature fusion structure for cross-feature maps was developed and was used to obtain a better baseline cross YOLO v3, where different anchor-setting methods were combined with a focal loss for experimental comparison in the datasets of sea buoys and existing sea ships, SeaBuoys and SeaShips, respectively. The results showed that the method proposed in this paper could significantly improve the accuracy of YOLO v3 in detecting sea-surface targets, and the highest value of mAP in the two datasets is 98.37% and 90.58%, respectively.

Marine target detection technology plays an important role in sea surface monitoring, sea area management, ship collision avoidance, and other fields. Traditional marine target detection algorithms cannot meet the requirements of accuracy and speed. This article uses the advantages of deep learning in big data feature learning to propose the YOLOv4 marine target detection method fused with a convolutional attention module. Marine target detection datasets were collected and produced and marine targets were divided into ten categories, including speedboat, warship, passenger ship, cargo ship, sailboat, tugboat, and kayak. Aiming at the problem of insufficient detection accuracy of YOLOv4’s self-built marine target dataset, a convolutional attention module is added to the YOLOv4 network to increase the weight of useful features while suppressing the weight of invalid features to improve detection accuracy. The experimental results show that the improved YOLOv4 has higher detection accuracy than the original YOLOv4, and has better detection results for small targets, multiple targets, and overlapping targets. The detection speed meets the real-time requirements, verifying the effectiveness of the improved algorithm.

The target detection algorithms have the problems of low detection accuracy and susceptibility to occlusion in existing smart cities. In response to this phenomenon, this paper presents an algorithm for target detection in a smart city combined with depth learning and feature extraction. It proposes an adaptive strategy is introduced to optimize the algorithm search windows based on the traditional SSD algorithm, which according to the target operating conditions change, strengthening the algorithm to enhance the accuracy of the objective function which is combined with the weighted correlation feature fusion method, and this method is a combination of appearance depth features and depth features. Experimental results show that this algorithm has a better antiblocking ability and detection accuracy compared with the conventional SSD algorithms. In addition, it has better stability in a changing environment.

Insulator is an important equipment of power transmission line. Insulator icing can seriously affect the stable operation of power transmission line. So insulator icing condition monitoring has great significance of the safety and stability of power system. Therefore, this paper proposes a lightweight intelligent recognition method of insulator icing thickness for front-end ice monitoring device. In this method, the residual network (ResNet) and feature pyramid network (FPN) are fused to construct a multi-scale feature extraction network framework, so that the shallow features and deep features are fused to reduce the information loss and improve the target detection accuracy. Then, the full convolution neural network (FCN) is used to classify and regress the iced insulator, so as to realize the high-precision identification of icing thickness. Finally, the proposed method is compressed by model quantization to reduce the size and parameters of the model for adapting the icing monitoring terminal with limited computing resources, and the performance of the method is verified and compared with other classical method on the edge intelligent chip.
