Title of Lecture:

Visual Object Detection and Recognition Advances and Applications

Abstract: In the wave of artificial intelligence, visual object detection and recognition technology has become a key force driving the development of various fields, such as industrial automation, precision agriculture, environmental monitoring, and national security. We will provide a comprehensive review of the advancements and latest research achievements in this technology, particularly in the areas of industrial visual inspection, UAV target detection, and satellite imagery target detection and recognition.
In industrial visual inspection, we delve into the application of object detection technology in automated steel production. We focus on how to cleverly address the issues of intra-class variation and inter-class confusion in steel quantity statistics, significantly improving production efficiency and accuracy. In UAV object detection section, we innovatively apply bi-temporal image technology to enhance detection precision and timeliness in crucial areas such as land monitoring and disaster assessment. In satellite image object detection and recognition, we analyze the application of object detection technology in urban planning, environmental monitoring, and military reconnaissance, and particularly address the challenges of improving detection and recognition accuracy in small sample scenarios and propose corresponding solutions.
In the future, with continuous technological advancements and innovations, we believe that visual object detection and recognition technology will play a critical role in more fields, driving the intelligent and automated development of various aspects of society.
