Binocular Vision-Based Target Detection Algorithm by Huiguo Zhang

“…In addition, to solve the key problems in the detection process, the Feffol model adopts the Focal Loss and CIoU Loss functions. The former can effectively balance the positive and negative samples to avoid over-learning of easy-to-classify samples during the training process; the latter successfully solves the problem of the failure of the detection method when there is no intersection between the prediction frame and the real detection frame, which significantly improves the robustness of the model. …”
