To solve the problems of false detection and missed detection of small, dense, and overlapping wear particles in the current ferrography wear particle detection model in a complex oil background environment, a new ferrography wear particle detection network, EYBNet, is proposed. Firstly, the MSRCR algorithm is used to enhance the contrast of wear particle images and reduce the interference of complex lubricant backgrounds. Secondly, under the framework of YOLOv5s, the accuracy of network detection is improved by introducing DWConv and the accuracy of the entire network is improved by optimizing the loss function of the detection network. Then, by adding an ECAM to the backbone network of YOLOv5s, the saliency of wear particles in the images is enhanced, and the feature expression ability of wear particles in the detection network is enhanced. Finally, the path aggregation network structure in YOLOv5s is replaced with a weighted BiFPN structure to achieve efficient bidirectional cross-scale connections and weighted feature fusion. The experimental results show that the average accuracy is increased by 4.46%, up to 91.3%, compared with YOLOv5s, and the detection speed is 50.5FPS.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s23146477","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,18]],"date-time":"2023-07-18T01:46:02Z","timestamp":1689644762000},"page":"6477","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":29,"title":["A New Target Detection Method of Ferrography Wear Particle Images Based on ECAM-YOLOv5-BiFPN Network"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0007-1388-4182","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lei","family":"He","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Merchant Marine College, Shanghai Maritime University, Shanghai 201306, China"}]},{"given":"Haijun","family":"Wei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Merchant Marine College, Shanghai Maritime University, Shanghai 201306, China"}]},{"given":"Qixuan","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Merchant Marine College, Shanghai Maritime University, Shanghai 201306, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Du, X., Song, L., Lv, Y., and Qiu, S.
