Hidden Dangerous Object Recognition in Terahertz Images Using Deep Learning Methods

As a harmless detection method, terahertz has become a new trend in security detection. However, there are inherent problems such as the low quality of the images collected by terahertz equipment and the insufficient detection accuracy of dangerous goods. This work advances BiFPN at the neck of YOLO...

description As a harmless detection method, terahertz has become a new trend in security detection. However, there are inherent problems such as the low quality of the images collected by terahertz equipment and the insufficient detection accuracy of dangerous goods. This work advances BiFPN at the neck of YOLOv5 of the deep learning model as a mechanism to improve low resolution. We also perform transfer learning, thereby fine-tuning the pre-training weight of the backbone for migration learning in our model. Results from experimental analysis reveal that mAP@0.5 and mAP@0.5:0.95 values witness a percentage increase of 0.2% and 1.7%, respectively, attesting to the superiority of the proposed model to YOLOv5, which is the state-of-the-art model in object detection.
