In intelligent transportation and safety monitoring, infrared road object detection technology holds significant value due to its low-light environmental advantages. However, inherent limitations such as low image resolution and blurred textures cause severe feature information loss and insufficient small object detection accuracy in existing algorithms. This study proposes an infrared road small object detection model integrating super-resolution reconstruction with improved YOLOv10n called SOG-YOLO. The Enhanced Super-Resolution Generative Adversarial Network (ESRGAN) is employed to reconstruct image details. A Dynamic Generalized Efficient Layer Aggregation Network (D-GELAN) enhances feature fusion, combined with Omni-Dimensional Dynamic Convolution (OD-Conv) for adaptive feature extraction. A neck structure (DD-PAN) that combines D-GELAN and DySample has been designed to capture weak small object features with low computational cost. Experiments on two infrared road datasets demonstrate that SOG-YOLO achieves recall improvements of 7.4% and 10.4%, respectively, compared to baseline models, with increasing by 7.4% and 10.3% correspondingly. This provides a high-performance solution for infrared road object detection.
