Abstract
With the advancement of agricultural automation, the demand for road recognition and understanding in agricultural machinery autonomous driving systems has significantly increased. To address the scarcity of instance segmentation data for rural roads and rural unstructured scenes, particularly the lack of support for high-resolution and fine-grained classification, a 20-class instance segmentation dataset was constructed, comprising 10,062 independently annotated instances. An improved StyleGAN2-ADA data augmentation method was proposed to generate higher-quality image data. This method incorporates a decoupled mapping network (DMN) to reduce the coupling degree of latent codes in W-space and integrates the advantages of convolutional networks and transformers by designing a convolutional coupling transfer block (CCTB). The core cross-shaped window self-attention mechanism in the CCTB enhances the network's ability to capture complex contextual information and spatial layouts. Ablation experiments comparing the improved and original StyleGAN2-ADA networks demonstrate significant improvements, with the inception score (IS) increasing from 42.38 to 77.31 and the Fréchet inception distance (FID) decreasing from 25.09 to 12.42, indicating a notable enhancement in data generation quality and authenticity. In order to verify the effect of data enhancement on the model performance, the algorithms Mask R-CNN, SOLOv2, YOLOv8n, and OneFormer were tested to compare the performance difference between the original dataset and the enhanced dataset, which further confirms the effectiveness of the improved module.
