A detection algorithm for small surface floating objects based on improved YOLOv5s by Xusheng YUE, Jun LI, Yaohong WANG, Penghao ZHU, Zhexing WANG, Xuanhao XU

“…Third, the CBAM (Convolutional Block Attention Module) was incorporated into the backbone network to address the limited feature extraction capability for detecting floating bottles on the water surface. Finally, the Normalized Wasserstein Distance (NWD) regression loss function was introduced and combined with the IoU loss function in a weighted manner to construct a comprehensive regression loss function, further enhancing detection accuracy for floating bottles on the water surface.ResultsExperimental results show that the proposed algorithm achieves a mAP@0.5 of 95.7% in detecting floating bottles on the water surface. …”
