Popis: Underwater object detection plays an essential role in ocean exploration, and the increasing amount of underwater object image data makes the study of advanced underwater object detection algorithms of great practical significance. However, there are problems with colour offset, low contrast, and target blur in underwater image data. An underwater object detection algorithm based on Faster R-CNN is proposed to solve these problems. First, the Swin Transformer is used as the backbone network of the algorithm. Second, by adding the path aggregation network, the deep feature map and the shallow feature map are superimposed and fused. Third, online hard example mining, makes the training process more efficient. Fourth, the ROI pooling is improved to ROI align, eliminating the two quantization errors of ROI pooling and improving the detection performance. Compared with other algorithms, the proposed algorithm’s based on improved Faster-RCNN on URPC2018 dataset is improved to 80.54%, and basically solve the problem of missed detection and false detection of objects of different sizes in a complex environment.
