Abstract:Aiming at the overfitting problem of deep DenseNet model on small-scale data sets, an improved lightweight DenseNet model is proposed in this paper. Firstly, we optimized the number of DenseBlock and its internal network structure. Then, an adaptive pooling layer method is proposed to solve the problem of adapting the resolution of the feature map of the new network. Finally, we added the SkipLayer to enhance the flow of feature information between DenseBlocks. The experimental results illustrated that the new method can reduced the parameter and calculation amount of the model, and solve the over-fitting problem of deep DenseNet effectively .
