With the continuous development of deep learning, the application of object detection based on deep neural network in the coal mine has been expanding. Simultaneously, as the production applications demand higher recognition accuracy, most research chooses to enlarge the depth and parameters of the network to improve accuracy. However, due to the limited computing resources in the coal mining face, it is challenging to meet the computation demands of a large number of hardware resources. Therefore, this paper proposes a lightweight object detection algorithm designed specifically for coal mining face, referred to as CM-YOLOv8. The algorithm introduces adaptive predefined anchor boxes tailored to the coal mining face dataset to enhance the detection performance of various targets. Simultaneously, a pruning method based on the L1 norm is designed, significantly compressing the model's computation and parameter volume without compromising accuracy. The proposed algorithm is validated on the coal mining dataset DsLMF+, achieving a compression rate of 40% on the model volume with less than a 1% drop in accuracy. Comparative analysis with other existing algorithms demonstrates its efficiency and practicality in coal mining scenarios. The experiments confirm that CM-YOLOv8 significantly reduces the model's computational requirements and volume while maintaining high accuracy.

Image stitching is a crucial aspect of image processing. However, factors like perspective and environment often lead to irregular shapes in stitched images. Cropping or completion methods typically result in substantial loss of information. This paper proposes a method for rectifying irregularly images into rectangles using deformable meshes and residual networks. The method utilizes a convolutional neural network to quantify rigid structures of images. Choosing the most suitable mesh structure based on the extraction results, offering options such as triangular, rectangular, and hexagonal. Subsequently, the irregularly image, predefined mesh structure, and predicted mesh structure are input into a wide residual neural network for regression. The loss function comprises local and global, aimed at minimizing the loss of image information within the mesh and global target. This method not only significantly reduces information loss during rectification but also adapting to different images with various rigid structures. Validation on the DIR-D dataset shows this method outperforms state-of-the-art methods in image rectification.
