ABSTRACT=For deep learning-based object detection, we present a superior network named MSS-YOLOv5, which not only considers the reliability in complex scenes but also promotes its timeliness to better adapt to practical scenarios. First of all, multi-scale information is integrated into different feature dimensions to improve the distinction and robustness of features. The design of the detectors increases the variety of detection boxes to accommodate a wider range of detected objects. Secondly, the pooling method is upgraded to obtain more detailed information. At last, we add the Angle cost and assign new weights to different loss functions to accelerate the convergence and improve the accuracy of network detection. Experimental results show that our method achieves performance improvement on both the two datasets PASCAL VOC2007/ PASCAL 2012, in terms of the balance of speed and precision in challenging detection regions.
