Abstract
In view of the forestry pest identification research is less, manual identification time-consuming and labor-intensive low accuracy. An attention-based and lightweight YOLOv5 forestry pest identification method was proposed. First of all, the traditional backbone network CSPDarknet is modified to the improved ShuffleNetV2, which simplifies the network structure and makes the network more lightweight; Secondly, the hybrid attention mechanism CBAM (Convolutional Block Attention Module) is introduced to increase the perception ability of cyberspace and channel features while keeping the parameters and calculation load basically unchanged. Finally, the loss function is replaced by WIoU to improve model training to speed up model convergence and improve regression accuracy. The average detection accuracy of the improved model is 89.9%, which is 3.6% higher than that of the original YOLOv5s algorithm; The parameters decreased by 3213050 and the calculation amount decreased by 7.8. The improved model improves the detection accuracy and reduces the parameters and calculation amount. Compared with other advanced algorithms, the algorithm in this paper has excellent performance, which can provide reference for forest pest identification and management.
