In this paper, the Faster R-CNN network has been improved. The original VGG16 network has been replaced by ResNet101 network and the residual value module was introduced to ensure the detailed features of the deep network. Then the industrial control logic diagram data set was analyzed to improve the anchors size ratio through K-Means clustering algorithm. The candidate box screening problem was optimized by improved the non-maximum suppression algorithm. The elements were distinguished via the combination of the candidate box location and the inherent text, which improved the recognition accuracy of similar elements. An experimental platform was build using Tensorflow framework based on Windows system and the improved method was compared with the original one by the control variable. The results showed that the performance of similar element recognition has been greatly enhanced through improved Faster R-CNN network.
