Analysis of vehicle and pedestrian detection effects of improved YOLOv8 model in drone-assisted urban traffic monitoring system.

ABSTRACT: This study proposes an improved YOLOv8 model for vehicle and pedestrian detection in urban traffic monitoring systems. In order to improve the detection performance of the model, we introduced a multi-scale feature fusion module and an improved non-maximum suppression (NMS) algorithm based on the YOLOv8 model. The multi-scale feature fusion module enhances the model's detection ability for targets of different sizes by combining feature maps of different scales; the improved non-maximum suppression algorithm effectively reduces repeated detection and missed detection by optimizing the screening process of candidate boxes. Experimental results show that the improved YOLOv8 model exhibits excellent detection performance on the VisDrone2019 dataset, and outperforms other classic target detect
