Improving Learning Effectiveness For Object Detection and Classification in Cluttered Backgrounds


الملخص بالإنكليزية

Usually, Neural Networks models are trained with a large dataset of images in homogeneous backgrounds. The issue is that the performance of the network models trained could be significantly degraded in a complex and heterogeneous environment. To mitigate the issue, this paper develops a framework that permits to autonomously generate a training dataset in heterogeneous cluttered backgrounds. It is clear that the learning effectiveness of the proposed framework should be improved in complex and heterogeneous environments, compared with the ones with the typical dataset. In our framework, a state-of-the-art image segmentation technique called DeepLab is used to extract objects of interest from a picture and Chroma-key technique is then used to merge the extracted objects of interest into specific heterogeneous backgrounds. The performance of the proposed framework is investigated through empirical tests and compared with that of the model trained with the COCO dataset. The results show that the proposed framework outperforms the model compared. This implies that the learning effectiveness of the framework developed is superior to the models with the typical dataset.
