A Study on Improved Faster R-CNN Model for Multi-Object Detection in Remote Sensing Images
The complex backgrounds, diverse target types, and significant scale variations in remote sensing images lead to target omission and false detection. To address these issues, this study proposes an improved Faster R-CNN multi-object detection model. First, the ResNet 50 backbone network is replaced with the Swin Transformer to enhance the model's feature extraction capability. Second, a Balanced Feature Pyramid (BFP) module is introduced to fuse shallow and deep semantic information, further strengthening the feature fusion effect. Finally, in the classification and regression branches, a dynamic weighting mechanism is incorporated to encourage the network to focus more on high-quality candidate boxes during training, thereby improving the precision of target localization and classification. The experimental results on the RSOD dataset show that the proposed model significantly reduces the number of Floating-Point Operations per second (FLOPs) compared to the Faster R-CNN model. The proposed model achieves 10.7 percentage points improvement in mAP@0.5∶0.95 and 10.6 percentage points increase in Average Recall (AR). Compared to other mainstream detection models, the proposed model achieves higher accuracy while reducing the false detection rate. These results indicate that the proposed model significantly enhances detection accuracy in remote sensing images with complex backgrounds.
