Small object detection is one of the challenging tasks in computer vision. Most of the existing small object detection models cannot fully extract the characteristics of small objects within an image, due to the small coverage area, low resolution and unclear detailed information of small objects in the image; hence, the effect of these models is not ideal. To solve this problem, a simple and efficient reinforce feature pyramid network R-FPN is proposed for the YOLOv5 algorithm. The learnable weight is introduced to show the importance of different input features, make full use of the useful information of different feature layers and strengthen the extraction of small object features. At the same time, a channel space mixed attention CSMA module is proposed to extract the detailed information of small objects combined with spaces and channels, suppress other useless information and further improve the accuracy of small object detection. The experimental results show that the proposed method improves the average accuracy AP, AP50 and AR100 of the original algorithm by 2.11%, 2.86% and 1.94%, respectively, and the detection effect is better than the existing small object detection algorithms, which proves the effectiveness of the proposed method.

With the wide increase in global forestry resources trade, the demand for wood is increasing day by day, especially rare wood. Finding a computer-based method that can identify wood species has strong practical value and very important significance for regulating the wood trade market and protecting the interests of all parties, which is one of the important problems to be solved by the wood industry. This article firstly studies the establishment of wood microscopic images dataset through a combination of traditional image amplification technology and Mix-up technology expansion strategy. Then with the traditional Faster Region-based Convolutional Neural Networks (Faster RCNN) model, the receptive field enhancement Spatial Pyramid Pooling (SPP) module and the multi-scale feature fusion of Feature Pyramid Networks (FPN) module are introduced to construct a microscopic image identification model based on the migration learning fusion model and analyzes the three factors (Mix-up, Enhanced SPP and FPN modules) affecting the wood microscopic image detection model. The experimental results show that the proposed approach can identify 10 kinds of wood microscopic images, and the accuracy rate has increased from 77.8% to 83.8%, which provides convenient conditions for further in-depth study of the microscopic characteristics of wood cells and is of great significance to the field of wood science.

It is difficult to achieve all-weather visual object tracking in an open environment only utilizing single modality data input. Due to the complementarity of RGB and thermal infrared (TIR) data in various complex environments, a more robust object tracking framework can be obtained using video data of these two modalities. The fusion methods of RGB and TIR data are the core elements to determine the performance of the RGB-T object tracking method, and the existing RGB-T trackers have not solved this problem well. In order to solve the current low utilization of information intra single modality in aggregation-based methods and between two modalities in alignment-based methods, we used DiMP as the baseline tracker to design an RGB-T object tracking framework channel exchanging DiMP (CEDiMP) based on channel exchanging. CEDiMP achieves dynamic channel exchanging between sub-networks of different modes hardly adding any parameters during the feature fusion process. The expression ability of the deep features generated by our data fusion method based on channel exchanging is stronger. At the same time, in order to solve the poor generalization ability of the existing RGB-T object tracking methods and the poor ability in the long-term object tracking, more training of CEDiMP on the synthetic dataset LaSOT-RGBT is added. A large number of experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed model. CEDiMP achieves the best performance on two RGB-T object tracking benchmark datasets, GTOT and RGBT234, and performs outstandingly in the generalization testing.
