A Detection Method for Conveyor Belt Damage with Small Size and Low Contrast by HAN Yajie, HAO Xiaoli, NIU Baoning, XUE Jindong

“…[Purposes] An improved YOLOv4 detection model is proposed to solve the problems of missing detection and false detection when the existing models detect objects with small size and low contrast with the background. [Methods] In order to solve the problem of small size, first, the DDS unit is designed to replace the Res unit in the backbone network. …”
