Zusammenfassung:To address the issue of low detection accuracy caused by low illumination and occlusion in underground coal mines, this study proposes an innovative miner detection method. A large dataset encompassing complex environments, such as low-light conditions, partial strong light interference, and occlusion, was constructed. The Efficient Channel Attention (ECA) mechanism was integrated into the YOLOv11 model to enhance the model’s ability to focus on key features, thereby significantly improving detection accuracy. Additionally, a new weighted Complete Intersection over Union (CIoU) and adaptive confidence loss function were proposed to enhance the model’s robustness in low-light and occlusion scenarios. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms various improved algorithms and state-of-the-art detection models in both detection performance and robustness, providing important technical support and reference for coal miner safety assurance and intelligent mine management.
