Resumen
An algorithm model based on computer vision is one of the critical technologies that are imperative for agriculture and forestry planting. In this paper, a vision algorithm model based on StyleGAN and improved YOLOv5s is proposed to detect sandalwood trees from unmanned aerial vehicle remote sensing data, and this model has excellent adaptability to complex environments. To enhance feature expression ability, a CA (coordinate attention) module with dimensional information is introduced, which can both capture target channel information and keep correlation information between long-range pixels. To improve the training speed and test accuracy, SIOU (structural similarity intersection over union) is proposed to replace the traditional loss function, whose direction matching degree between the prediction box and the real box is fully considered. To achieve the generalization ability of the model, StyleGAN is introduced to augment the remote sensing data of sandalwood trees and to improve the sample balance of different flight heights. The experimental results show that the average accuracy of sandalwood tree detection increased from 93% to 95.2% through YOLOv5s model improvement; then, on that basis, the accuracy increased by another 0.4% via data generation from the StyleGAN algorithm model, finally reaching 95.6%. Compared with the mainstream lightweight models YOLOv5-mobilenet, YOLOv5-ghost, YOLOXs, and YOLOv4-tiny, the accuracy of this method is 2.3%, 2.9%, 3.6%, and 6.6% higher, respectively. The size of the training sandalwood tree model is 14.5 Mb, and the detection time is 17.6 ms. Thus, the algorithm demonstrates the advantages of having high detection accuracy, a compact model size, and a rapid processing speed, making it suitable for integration into edge computing devices for on-site real-time monitoring.
