物件偵測和影像復原在深度學習和計算機視覺領域中是一項具挑戰性的任務，物件偵測現今被廣泛應用於自動駕駛、醫療、監控等應用中。近年來隨著硬體技術突破，使基於深度學習的物件偵測性能得到重大的突破，然而邊緣裝置上的性能與功耗的瓶頸限制，使我們必須解決這個問題，現今在特殊環境下的物件偵測需求增加，影像容易受到模糊或是雜訊影響後續的結果，因此影像改善的問題也必須重視。
過去所提出的方法中，有些致力於高準確度而需要大量推理時間，其他方法則是在速度上優先考量。所以我們必須設計出一個高效能的網路架構，在高精準度下保持推理速度，因此本論文提出了一個高效能具注意力機制的水下物體偵測網路架構，我們對於水下物體的處理與其他方法不太一樣，不佳的影像會影響後續的物件偵測結果，因此針對水下資料集影像品質的還原及改善使用了除模糊網路作為前處理，另一方面在偵測網路中的特徵提取上分別加強通道和空間的特徵信息，並將這些自適應注意力特徵整合於多尺度特徵融合，最後結合部分跨階段網路方法以提升卷積神經網路(CNN)的學習能力同時縮減模型大小。根據實驗結果，我們提出的模型架構和以前提出的方法相比在準確度方面獲得領先的成績，在模型大小方面也有取得很好的平衡，結果比較也可以看出前處理的除模糊網路帶來的提升效果。

Object detection and image restoration are challenging tasks in deep learning and computer vision. Widely used in autonomous driving, medical, surveillance, and other applications, there is increasing demand in special environments where images are susceptible to blur or noise, which can affect subsequent results. In recent years significant breakthroughs have been made in object detection performance. However, the performance and power consumption bottlenecks of edge devices require us to solve this problem, and the problem of image improvement must also be accounted for.
Among the methods proposed in the past, some focus on high accuracy and require a lot of inference time, while others prioritize speed. Therefore, we must design an efficient network architecture to maintain inference speed and high accuracy. This thesis proposes an underwater object detection network architecture with an attention mechanism. This processing differs from other methods in that a deblurring network is used as preprocessing in order to restore and improve the image quality of the underwater dataset. On the other hand, in the feature extraction of the detection network, channel and spatial feature information are enhanced, respectively. These adaptive attention features are integrated into multi-scale feature fusion. And finally, the cross-stage local method is combined to improve the network learning ability of the convolutional neural network while reducing the reduced model size. According to the experimental results, our proposed model architecture achieves leading results in terms of accuracy and also achieves a good balance in terms of model size compared to previously proposed methods.
