It is of great value and significance to the development and application of current service robots, industrial automation, unmanned driving and other fields. In order to realize the real-time recognition and location of indoor scene objects, this article proposes an improved YOLOv3 neural network model, which combines densely connected networks and residual networks to construct a new YOLOv3 backbone network, which is applied to the detection and recognition of objects in indoor scenes. In this article, RealSense D415 RGB-D camera is used to obtain the RGB map and depth map, the actual distance value is calculated after each pixel in the scene image is mapped to the real scene. Experiment results proved that the detection and recognition accuracy and real-time performance by the new network are obviously improved compared with the previous YOLOV3 neural network model in the same scene. More objects can be detected after the improvement of network which cannot be detected with the YOLOv3 network before the improvement. The running time of objects detection and recognition is reduced to less than half of the original. This improved network has a certain reference value for practical engineering application.
