ABSTRACT

Hardhat is of vital importance to construction workers to prevent brain injuries. The hardhat wearing detection based on the deep learning network is efficient, but it is hard to be deployed and uneconomic. Aiming at the real-time monitoring and high practicability of construction workers’ hardhat detection, this paper proposes a lightweight detection algorithm of hardhat. First, based on YOLOv4 to form a new network structure. Second, the structure with a large calculation volume is replaced by the lightweight module BIFPNs3. Finally, use the Hard-Swish activation function suitable for embedded devices. The experimental results show that the average detection accuracy of YOLO-Ghost-BiFPNs3 network model is 91.1%. Compared with the lightweight network YOLOv4 Tiny, the detection speed increased by 52.17%. Our algorithm has greatly reduced the network parameters and computational complexity compared with YOLOv4, and is better deployed in embedded devices with limited memory and computational resources.
