Abstract

The use of a Convolutional neural network (CNN) has gained wide recommendation in the research community, especially in the area of vision systems (Object detection). The recent CNN recorded Various advancements in object detection in images with tremendous accuracy but still faced challenges of high time complexity. A one-stage object detection algorithm called YOLO (You Only Look Once), used for object classification and localization, performs great, especially in detecting objects in real time. In this study, we proposed an improved, fast YOLO CNN-based algorithm for detecting objects in images. We introduced hard negative mining for resampling and voting to eliminate some negative samples for balancing between negative and positive samples. A small convolution operation was used in exchange for the original convolution, which adjusted the parameters and effectively decreased detection time in images. The proposed model outperformed Fast YOLO with a precision of 88.32% and recall of 89.92%, conducted on smart city datasets.
