description Security systems place great emphasis on the safety of stored cargo, as any loss or tampering can result in significant economic damage. The cargo identification module within the security system faces the challenge of achieving a 99.99% recognition accuracy. However, current identification methods are limited in accuracy due to the lack of cargo data, insufficient utilization of image features and minimal differences between actual cargo classes. First, we collected and created a cargo identification dataset named "Cargo" using industrial cameras. Subsequently, an Attention-guided Multi-granularity feature fusion model (AGMG-Net) was proposed for cargo identification. This model extracts both coarse-grained and fine-grained features of the cargo using two branch networks and fuses them to fully utilize the information contained in these features. Furthermore, the Attention-guided Multi-stage Attention Accumulation (AMAA) module is introduced for target localization, and the Multi-region Optimal Selection method Based on Confidence (MOSBC) module is used for target cropping. The features from the two branches are fused using a fusion branch in a Concat manner for multi-granularity feature fusion. The experimental results show that the proposed model achieves an average recognition rate of 99.58, 92.73 and 88.57% on the self-built dataset Cargo, and the publicly available datasets Flower and Butterfly20, respectively. This is better than the state-of-the-art model. Therefore, this research method accurately identifies cargo categories and provides valuable assistance to security systems.
