Abstract Due to the influence of the shooting angle of view and the flight height, the images taken by UAV often have complex backgrounds and contain a large number of small and unevenly distributed objects. In order to solve the problem that it is difficult to accurately locate and recognize small objects in UAV images under complex backgrounds, this paper proposes an multi-scale feature fusion algorithm D-A-FS SSD (Dilated-Attention-Feature Fusion SSD) based on the combination of dilated convolution and attention mechanism. In the process of feature extraction, the receptive field of the feature is expanded through the dilated convolution, which improves the network's feature expression of object distribution and scale difference information. And a attention network is used in our method to effectively suppresse the background information. In the multi-scale detection stage, our method fuses the low-level feature map responsible for detecting small objects with the high-level feature map which have much higher semantic information to improve the recognition accuracy of small objects. Experimental results show that our method effectively improves the accuracy of UAV image object detection. © 2020 ACM.
