Abstract
As deep learning has been successfully applied in various domains, it has recently received considerable research attention for decades, making it possible to efficiently and intelligently detect crop pests. Nevertheless, the detection of pest objects is still challenging due to the lack of discriminative features and pests’ aggregation behavior. Recently, intersection over union (IoU)-based object detection has attracted much attention and become the most widely used metric. However, it is sensitive to small-object localization bias; furthermore, IoU-based loss only works when ground truths and predicted bounding boxes are intersected, and it lacks an awareness of different geometrical structures. Therefore, we propose a simple and effective metric and a loss function based on this new metric, truncated structurally aware distance (TSD). Firstly, the distance between two bounding boxes is defined as the standardized Chebyshev distance. We also propose a new regression loss function, truncated structurally aware distance loss, which consider the different geometrical structure relationships between two bounding boxes and whose truncated function is designed to impose different penalties. To further test the effectiveness of our method, we apply it on the Pest24 small-object pest dataset, and the results show that the mAP is 5.0% higher than other detection methods.
