Knowledge graph‐guided object detection with semantic distance network

Abstract

AbstractIn this research study, the inadequacies of current object detection techniques are analyzed. These techniques solely recognize individual objects without considering their interrelationships. To address this issue, a novel solution called the knowledge graph‐guided semantic distance network (KGSDN) approach is proposed. By utilizing a knowledge graph, KGSDN provides semantic contextual cues, leading to enhanced object detection accuracy. The KGSDN framework seamlessly integrates the knowledge graph and object detection network and employs an attention‐based network to evaluate the semantic distance between objects. As a result, the conditional object probability of every bounding box is updated, and the joint probability of all objects in the image is determined. The empirical findings indicate that this approach significantly improves the performance of deep learning‐based object detection methods.
