Aiming to solve the problems of false detection, missed detection, and insufficient detection ability of infrared vehicle images, an infrared vehicle target detection algorithm based on the improved YOLOv5 is proposed. The article analyzes the image characteristics of infrared vehicle detection, and then discusses the improved YOLOv5 algorithm in detail. The algorithm uses the DenseBlock module to increase the ability of shallow feature extraction. The Ghost convolution layer is used to replace the ordinary convolution layer, which increases the redundant feature graph based on linear calculation, improves the network feature extraction ability, and increases the amount of information from the original image. The detection accuracy of the whole network is enhanced by adding a channel attention mechanism and modifying loss function. Finally, the improved performance and comprehensive improved performance of each module are compared with common algorithms. Experimental results show that the detection accuracy of the DenseBlock and EIOU module added alone are improved by 2.5% and 3% compared with the original YOLOv5 algorithm, respectively, and the addition of the Ghost convolution module and SE module alone does not increase significantly. By using the EIOU module as the loss function, the three modules of DenseBlock, Ghost convolution and SE Layer are added to the YOLOv5 algorithm for comparative analysis, of which the combination of DenseBlock and Ghost convolution has the best effect. When adding three modules at the same time, the mAP fluctuation is smaller, which can reach 73.1%, which is 4.6% higher than the original YOLOv5 algorithm.
