MTD-YOLOv5: Enhancing marine target detection with multi-scale feature fusion in YOLOv5 model

Underwater light attenuation leads to decreased image contrast. This reduction in contrast subsequently decreases target visibility. Additionally, marine target detection is challenging due to multi-scale problems from varying target-to-device distances, complex target clustering, and noise from wat...

description Underwater light attenuation leads to decreased image contrast. This reduction in contrast subsequently decreases target visibility. Additionally, marine target detection is challenging due to multi-scale problems from varying target-to-device distances, complex target clustering, and noise from waterborne particulates.To address these issues, we propose MTD-YOLOv5.Initially, we enhance image contrast with grayscale equalization and mitigate color shift issues through color space transformation.We then introduce a novel feature extraction module, PCBR, combining max pooling and convolution layers for more effective target feature extraction from the background.Furthermore, we present the Multi-Scale Perceptual Hybrid Pooling (MHP) module.This module integrates horizontal and vertical receptive fields to establish long-range dependencies, thereby capturing hidden target information in deep network feature maps. In the Labeled Fishes in the Wild test datasets, MTD-YOLOv5 achieves a precision of 88.1% and a mean Average Precision (mAP[0.5:.95]) of 49.6%.These results represent improvements of 2.6% in precision and 0.4% in mAP over the original YOLOv5.
