深度卷积神经网络(DCNN)显著提升了目标检测能力,尤其在遥感图像中表现突出。然而,在检测小目标时仍面临挑战:图像高分辨率与目标尺寸小导致深层网络关键信息丢失;遥感图像普遍存在大量空间冗余和复杂背景细节,进一步掩盖小目标。为此,本文提出多核选择网络(MKSNet),其核心为新型多核选择机制(MKS),通过使用大卷积核有效捕获广泛上下文信息,并实现自适应核尺寸选择,显著提升网络对小目标的空间细节动态处理与强调能力。此外,MKSNet还融合空间与通道双注意力模块:空间注意力自适应调整特征图权重,聚焦关键区域并抑制背景噪声;通道注意力优化通道信息选择,强化特征表达与检测精度。在DOTA-v1.0和HRSC2016基准数据集上的实证评估表明,MKSNet在遥感图像小目标检测任务中显著优于现有最先进模型,验证了其在处理多尺度、高分辨率图像复杂性方面的有效性与创新性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Deep convolutional neural networks (DCNNs) have substantially advanced object detection capabilities, particularly in remote sensing imagery. However, challenges persist, especially in detecting small objects where the high resolution of these images and the small size of target objects often result in a loss of critical information in the deeper layers of conventional CNNs. Additionally, the extensive spatial redundancy and intricate background details typical in remote-sensing images tend to obscure these small targets. To address these challenges, we introduce Multi-Kernel Selection Network (MKSNet), a novel network architecture featuring a novel Multi-Kernel Selection mechanism. The MKS mechanism utilizes large convolutional kernels to effectively capture an extensive range of contextual information. This innovative design allows for adaptive kernel size selection, significantly enhancing the network's ability to dynamically process and emphasize crucial spatial details for small object detection. Furthermore, MKSNet also incorporates a dual attention mechanism, merging spatial and channel attention modules. The spatial attention module adaptively fine-tunes the spatial weights of feature maps, focusing more intensively on relevant regions while mitigating background noise. Simultaneously, the channel attention module optimizes channel information selection, improving feature representation and detection accuracy. Empirical evaluations on the DOTA-v1.0 and HRSC2016 benchmark demonstrate that MKSNet substantially surpasses existing state-of-the-art models in detecting small objects in remote sensing images. These results highlight MKSNet's superior ability to manage the complexities associated with multi-scale and high-resolution image data, confirming its effectiveness and innovation in remote sensing object detection.
