Cross-Domain Car Detection Model with Integrated Convolutional Block Attention Mechanism

Car detection, particularly through camera vision, has become a major focus in the field of computer vision and has gained widespread adoption. While current car detection systems are capable of good detection, reliable detection can still be challenging due to factors such as proximity between the car, light intensity, and environmental visibility. To address these issues, we propose cross-domain Car Detection Model with integrated convolutional block Attention mechanism(CDMA) that we apply to car recognition for autonomous driving and other areas. CDMA includes several novelties: 1)Building a complete cross-domain target detection framework. 2)Developing an unpaired target domain picture generation module with an integrated convolutional attention mechanism which specifically emphasizes the car headlights feature. 3)Adopting Generalized Intersection over Union (GIOU) as the loss function of the target detection framework. 4)Designing an object detection model integrated with two-headed Convolutional Block Attention Module(CBAM). 5)Utilizing an effective data enhancement method. To evaluate the model's effectiveness, we performed a reduced will resolution process on the data in the SSLAD dataset and used it as the benchmark dataset for our task. Experimental results show that the performance of the cross-domain car target detection model improves by 40% over the model without our framework, and our improvements have a significant impact on cross-domain car recognition.

AirFace:Lightweight and Efficient Model for Face Recognition

With the development of convolutional neural network, significant progress has been made in computer vision tasks. However, the commonly used loss function softmax loss and highly efficient network architecture for common visual tasks are not as effective for face recognition. In this paper, we propose a novel loss function named Li-ArcFace based on ArcFace. Li-ArcFace takes the value of the angle through linear function as the target logit rather than through cosine function, which has better convergence and performance on low dimensional embedding feature learning for face recognition. In terms of network architecture, we improved the the perfomance of MobileFaceNet by increasing the network depth, width and adding attention module. Besides, we found some useful training tricks for face recognition. With all the above results, we won the second place in the deepglint-light challenge of LFR2019.
