Abstract:

It is an important part of security inspection to carry out security and safety screening with X-ray scanners. Computer vision plays an important role in detection, recognition, and location analysis in intelligent manufacturing. The object detection algorithm is an important part of the intelligent X-ray machine. Existing threat object detection algorithms in X-ray images have low detection precision and are prone to missed and false detection. In order to increase the precision, a new improved Mask R-CNN algorithm is proposed in this paper. In the feature extraction network, an enhancement path is added to fuse the features of the lower layer into the higher layer, which reduces the loss of feature information. By adding an edge detection module, the training effect of the sample model can be improved without accurate labeling. The distance, overlap rate, and scale difference between objects and region proposals are solved using DIoU to improve the stability of the region proposal’s regression, thus improving the accuracy of object detection; SoftNMS algorithm is used to overcome the problem of missed detection when the objects to be detected overlap each other. The experimental results indicate that the mean Average Precision (mAP) of the improved algorithm is 9.32% higher than that of the Mask R-CNN algorithm, especially for knife and portable batteries, which are small in size, simple in shape, and easy to be mistakenly detected, and the Average Precision (AP) is increased by 13.41% and 15.92%, respectively. The results of the study have important implications for the practical application of threat object detection in X-ray images.
