Abstract: Single Shot MultiBox Detector(SSD), one of the most prevalent object detection algorithms based on deep learning, greatly shortens the time of object detecting, whose accuracy of detection is acceptable. However its accuracy cannot meet the need of practical application. Attention mechanism is helpful in improving the performance of convolutional neural network and the accuracy of detection. This paper modifies SSD with attention mechanism and proposes a modified object detection algorithm based on SSD. The modified SSD has been tested with Pascal VOC dataset. The modified SSD achieves 78.5% mAP in Pascal VOC2007 test set and 77.1% mAP in Pascal VOC2012 test set, which are higher than original SSD 4.2 percentage points and 4.7 percentage points separately.

Key words: object detection, SSD, deep learning, convolutional neural network, attention mechanism
