TransEffiDet: Aircraft Detection and Classification in Aerial Images Based on EfficientDet and Transformer

Abstract

In recent years, analysis and optimization algorithm based on image data is a research hotspot. Aircraft detection based on aerial images can provide data support for accurately attacking military targets. Although many efforts have been devoted, it is still challenging due to the poor environment, the vastness of the sky background, and so on. This paper proposes an aircraft detection method named TransEffiDet in aerial images based on the EfficientDet method and Transformer module. We improved the EfficientDet algorithm by combining it with the Transformer which models the long-range dependency for the feature maps. Specifically, we first employ EfficientDet as the backbone network, which can efficiently fuse the different scale feature maps. Then, deformable Transformer is used to analyze the long-range correlation for global feature extraction. Furthermore, we designed a fusion module to fuse the long-range and short-range features extracted by EfficientDet and deformable Transformer, respectively. Finally, object class is produced by feeding the feature map to the class prediction net and the bounding box predictions are generated by feeding these fused features to the box prediction net. The mean Average Precision (mAP) is 86.6%, which outperforms the EfficientDet by 5.8%. The experiment shows that TransEffiDet is more robust than other methods. Additionally, we have established a public aerial dataset for aircraft detection, which will be released along with this paper.

[Retracted] Construction of the Public Management Performance Assessment Algorithm Using Fuzzy Clustering

“…The fuzzy clustering method is a method of classifying objective things by establishing fuzzy similarity relations. The characteristics of its classification [ 23 ] are the conclusion of fuzzy clustering does not indicate that objects absolutely belong to a certain class and do not belong to a certain class but indicates to what extent objects belong to a certain class and another class with a clear λ value. The composition and the algorithm flow of the fuzzy clustering system are shown in Figure 1 .…”

An Evaluation Model of English Normal Students’ Informatization Teaching Ability Based on Technical Pedagogical Content Knowledge and Few-Shot Learning

“…Computational intelligence methods [ 9 , 10 ] are inspired by biological evolutionary mechanisms and some natural phenomena, and many new solutions to complex optimization problems are widely used in various fields of problems, concerns, and applications due to their high optimization performance and less requirement for specific information. Computational intelligence methods include neural network [ 11 , 12 ], fuzzy control, genetic algorithm, immune computing, and swarm intelligence.…”

Analysis of Graphic Perception Education for Young Children Based on Fuzzy Clustering Analysis

“…Unsupervised classification, also known as cluster analysis, is the process of distinguishing and classifying things according to certain requirements and rules. In this process, there is no a priori knowledge about the classification [ 25 ], only the similarity between things as a criterion for class classification. Through education in recognizing geometric figures, combining and dividing geometric figures, and drawing geometric figures, children can get an initial understanding of the characteristics of shapes, learn to spell and draw them creatively, stimulate their interest in learning mathematics, and develop their ability to think about concrete images.…”
