Abstract
A vehicle logo occupies a small proportion of a car and has different shapes. These characteristics bring difficulties to machine-vision-based vehicle logo detection. To improve the accuracy of vehicle logo detection in complex backgrounds, an improved YOLOv4 model was presented. Firstly, the CSPDenseNet was introduced to improve the backbone feature extraction network, and a shallow output layer was added to replenish the shallow information of small target. Then, the deformable convolution residual block was employed to reconstruct the neck structure to capture the various and irregular shape features. Finally, a new detection head based on a convolutional transformer block was proposed to reduce the influence of complex backgrounds on vehicle logo detection. Experimental results showed that the average accuracy of all categories in the VLD-45 dataset was 62.94%, which was 5.72% higher than the original model. It indicated that the improved model could perform well in vehicle logo detection.
