PSD-YOLO: An Enhanced Real-Time Framework for Robust Worker Detection in Complex Offshore Oil Platform Environments.

To address the safety challenges for personnel in the complex and hazardous environments of offshore drilling platforms, this paper introduces the Platform Safety Detection YOLO (PSD-YOLO), an enhanced, real-time object detection framework based on YOLOv10s. The framework integrates several key innovations to improve detection robustness: first, the Channel Attention-Aware (CAA) mechanism is incorporated into the backbone network to effectively suppress complex background noise interference; second, a novel C2fCIB_Conv2Former module is designed in the neck to strengthen multi-scale feature fusion for small and occluded targets; finally, the Soft-NMS algorithm is employed in place of traditional NMS to significantly reduce missed detections in dense scenes. Experimental results on a custom offshore platform personnel dataset show that PSD-YOLO achieves a mean Average Precision (mAP@0.5) of 82.5% at an inference speed of 232.56 FPS. The efficient and accurate detection framework proposed in this study provides reliable technical support for automated safety monitoring systems, holds significant practical implications for reducing accident rates and safeguarding personnel by enabling real-time warnings of hazardous situations, fills a critical gap in intelligent sensor monitoring for offshore platforms and makes a significant contribution to advancing their safety monitoring systems.
