WoodenCube: An Innovative Dataset for Object Detection in Concealed Industrial Environments.

With the rapid advancement of intelligent manufacturing technologies, the operating environments of modern robotic arms are becoming increasingly complex. In addition to the diversity of objects, there is often a high degree of similarity between the foreground and the background. Although traditional RGB-based object-detection models have achieved remarkable success in many fields, they still face the challenge of effectively detecting targets with textures similar to the background. To address this issue, we introduce the WoodenCube dataset, which contains over 5000 images of 10 different types of blocks. All images are densely annotated with object-level categories, bounding boxes, and rotation angles. Additionally, a new evaluation metric, Cube-mAP, is proposed to more accurately assess the detection performance of cube-like objects. In addition, we have developed a simple, yet effective, framework for WoodenCube, termed CS-SKNet, which captures strong texture features in the scene by enlarging the network's receptive field. The experimental results indicate that our CS-SKNet achieves the best performance on the WoodenCube dataset, as evaluated by the Cube-mAP metric. We further evaluate the CS-SKNet on the challenging DOTAv1.0 dataset, with the consistent enhancement demonstrating its strong generalization capability. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
