Abstract:

In view of the problems of foreground occlusion and background blur in underwater target detection task, an underwater target detection algorithm based on attention mechanism is proposed. Firstly, the image enhancement algorithms are used to improve the image quality. Then, based on the similarity function of the non-local neural network, the concatenation similarity function with logical reasoning capability is fused to enhance the expression ability of the network to the global context features. Additionally, the improved non-local neural network is combined with the triplet attention to make up for the channel features lost by the non-local neural network. Finally, the dilated convolution module is used to replace the pooling operation in triplet attention to reduce the loss of fine-grained information. Experiments show that the proposed algorithm increases the detection accuracy of baseline method from 65.66% to 68.55% on the data set provided by the 2020 National Underwater Target Detection Contest, which proves the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
