To resolve the problem of occlusion of the depth information of x-ray images and the detection of small-scale contraband in the detection of contraband objects, an improved prohibited item detection network has been proposed based on YOLOX. First, a material-aware atrous convolution module (MACM) is added to the feature pyramid network to enhance the model's multiscale fusion and extraction ability for material information in x-ray image. Second, a spatial pyramid split attention mechanism (SPSA) is proposed to fuse spatial and channel attention for different scale spatial information features. Finally, CutMix data augmentation strategy is adopted to improve the robustness of the model. The overall performance identification experiments were conducted on the publicly available OPIXray dataset. The average accuracy (mean average precision, mAP) of the method is 93.10%. Compared with the baseline model YOLOX, the mAP is improved by 3.25%. The experimental results show that our method achieves stateof-the-art detection accuracy compared with existing methods.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
