Enhanced Detection and Recognition of Road Objects in Infrared Imaging Using Multi-Scale Self-Attention.

In infrared detection scenarios, detecting and recognizing low-contrast and small-sized targets has always been a challenge in the field of computer vision, particularly in complex road traffic environments. Traditional target detection methods usually perform poorly when processing infrared small targets, mainly due to their inability to effectively extract key features and the significant feature loss that occurs during feature transmission. To address these issues, this paper proposes a fast detection and recognition model based on a multi-scale self-attention mechanism, specifically for small road targets in infrared detection scenarios.
