Automatic Garbage Scattered Area Detection with Data Augmentation and Transfer Learning in SUAV Low-Altitude Remote Sensing Images

الملخص EN

Cleaning up the garbage timely plays an important role in protecting the ecological environment of nature reserves.

The traditional approach adopts manual patrol and centralized cleaning to clean up garbage, which is inefficient.

In order to protect the ecological environment of nature reserves, this paper proposes an automatic garbage scattered area detection (GSAD) model based on the state-of-the-art deep learning EfficientDet method, transfer learning, data augmentation, and image blocking.

The main contributions of this paper are (1) we build a garbage sample dataset based on small unmanned aerial vehicle (SUAV) low-altitude remote sensing and (2) we propose a novel data augmentation approach based on garbage scattered area detection and (3) this paper establishes a model (GSAD) for garbage scattered area detection based on data augmentation, transfer learning, and image blocking and gives future research directions.

Experimental results show that the GSAD model can achieve the F1-score of 95.11% and average detection time of 1.096 s.
