contents Aiming at the detection difficulties of infrared images such as complex background, low signal-to-noise ratio, small target size and weak brightness, a lightweight infrared small target detection algorithm ISTD-YOLO based on improved YOLOv7 was proposed. Firstly, the YOLOv7 network structure was lightweight reconstructed, and a three-scale lightweight network architecture was designed. Then, the ELAN-W module of the model neck network is replaced by VoV-GSCSP to reduce the computational cost and the complexity of the network structure. Secondly, a parameter-free attention mechanism was introduced into the neck network to enhance the relevance of local con-text information. Finally, the Normalized Wasserstein Distance (NWD) was used to optimize the commonly used IoU index to enhance the localization and detection accuracy of small targets. Experimental results show that compared with YOLOv7 and the current mainstream algorithms, ISTD-YOLO can effectively improve the detection effect, and all indicators are effectively improved, which can achieve high-quality detection of infrared small targets.
