Aiming to solve the problems with easy false detection of small targets in river floating object detection and deploying an overly large model, a new method is proposed based on improved YOLOv5s. A new data augmentation method for small objects is designed to enrich the dataset and improve the model’s robustness. Distinct feature extraction network levels incorporate different coordinate attention mechanism pooling methods to enhance the effective feature information extraction of small targets and improve small target detection accuracy. Then, a shallow feature map with 4-fold down-sampling is added, and feature fusion is performed using the Feature Pyramid Network. At the same time, bilinear interpolation replaces the up-sampling method to retain feature information and enhance the network’s ability to sense small targets. Network complex algorithms are optimized to better adapt to embedded platforms. Finally, the model is channel pruned to solve the problem of difficult deployment. The experimental results show that this method has a better feature extraction capability as well as a higher detection accuracy. Compared with the original YOLOv5 algorithm, the accuracy is improved by 15.7%, the error detection rate is reduced by 83% in small target task detection, the detection accuracy can reach 92.01% in edge testing, and the inference speed can reach 33 frames per second, which can meet the real-time requirements.

We design an improved logic threshold approach of energy management for a power-split HEV assisted by an integrated starter generator (ISG). By combining the efficiency map and the optimum torque curve of internal combustion engine (ICE) with the state of charge (SOC) of batteries, the improved logic threshold controller manages the ICE within its peak efficiency region at first. Then the electrical power demand is established based on the ICE energy output. On that premise, a variable logic threshold valueKis defined to achieve the power distribution between the ISG and the electric motor/generator (EMG). Finally, simulation models for the power-split HEV with improved logic threshold controller are established in ADVISOR. Compared to the equally power-split HEV with the logic threshold controller, when using the improved logic threshold controller, the battery power consumption, the ICE efficiency, the fuel consumption, and the motor driving system efficiency are improved.
