Abstract

Despite their proficiency with typical environmental datasets, deep learning-based object detection algorithms struggle when faced with diverse adverse weather conditions. Moreover, existing methods often address single adverse weather scenarios, neglecting situations involving multiple concurrent adverse conditions. To tackle these challenges, we propose an enhanced approach to object detection in power construction sites under various adverse weather conditions, dubbed IDP-YOLOV9. This model leverages a parallel architecture comprising the Image Dehazing and Enhancement Processing (IDP) module and an improved YOLOV9 object detection module. Specifically, for images captured in adverse weather, our approach employs a parallel architecture that includes the Three-Weather Removal Algorithm (TRA) module and the Deep Learning-based Image Enhancement (DLIE) module, which, together, filter multiple weather factors to enhance image quality. Subsequently, we introduce an improved YOLOV9 detection network module that incorporates a three-layer routing attention mechanism for object detection. Experiments demonstrate that the IDP module significantly improves image quality by mitigating the impact of various adverse weather conditions. Compared to traditional single-processing models, our method improves recognition accuracy on complex weather datasets by 6.8% in terms of mean average precision (mAP50).
