description Due to carbon deposits, lean flames, or damaged metal parts, sparks can occur in aero engine chambers. At present, the detection of such sparks deeply depends on laborious manual work. Considering that interference has the same features as sparks, almost all existing object detectors cannot replace humans in carrying out high-precision spark detection. In this paper, we propose a scene-aware spark detection network, consisting of an information fusion-based cascading video codec-image object detector structure, which we name SAVSDN. Unlike video object detectors utilizing candidate boxes from adjacent frames to assist in the current prediction, we find that efforts should be made to extract the spatio-temporal features of adjacent frames to reduce over-detection. Visualization experiments show that SAVSDN can learn the difference in spatio-temporal features between sparks and interference. To solve the problem of a lack of aero engine anomalous spark data, we introduce a method to generate simulated spark images based on the Gaussian function. In addition, we publish the first simulated aero engine spark data set, which we name SAES. In our experiments, SAVSDN far outperformed state-of-the-art detection models for spark detection in terms of five metrics.
