Small Target Detection Algorithm for UAV Aerial Images Based on Improved YOLOv7-tiny by ZHANG Guanghua, LI Congfa, LI Gangying, LU Weidang

“…This study proposes a small target detection algorithm for UAV aerial images using a ConvMixer detection head based on the improved YOLOv7-tiny to address the problems of missed detection and false detection caused by significant variations in target scale, densely distributed small-sized targets and complex backgrounds in UAV aerial images.MethodsFirst, the activation function LeakyReLU is replaced with SiLU to compensate for the limited nonlinear expression of LeakyReLU and to enhance convergence speed and model generalization during training. …”
