ABSTRACT
Object detection in aerial images has garnered significant attention from the research community in recent years. The challenges posed by small objects, diverse orientations, and complex backgrounds have spurred extensive research efforts. In this paper, we focus on object detection in a YOLOv7-based framework, to address the issue of overlapping predicted regions, we introduce and apply the Soft-NMS (Non-Maximum Suppression) technique, a post-processing method known for its effectiveness in improving detection accuracy in such scenarios. Soft-NMS adjusts bounding box scores based on the extent of overlap, allowing for more accurate localization of objects in densely populated regions. Furthermore, we present comprehensive experimental results to validate the efficacy of our proposed approach. The analyses encompass a thorough evaluation on the UCAS Aerial Object Detection (UCAS AOD) dataset, comprising over 1500 aerial images captured from diverse perspectives. Our method has demonstrated an improvement in object detection performance, particularly in scenarios with closely positioned objects. The proposed framework showcases its ability to handle complex aerial scenes with higher precision and recall rates compared to conventional methods.
