Enhanced feature fusion for precise small object detection in complex environments
摘要
Detecting and classifying tiny objects in cluttered scenes is vital for both industrial automation and ecological monitoring. However, the weak textural cues and low contrast between targets and backgrounds pose significant challenges for accurate recognition. To address these issues, we propose a robust deep detection framework that integrates a Dynamic Multi-scale Cross-Attention (DMCA) module, a Star Feature Fusion Module (SFFM), and a shape-sensitive Intersection over Union (IoU) loss. These components collaboratively enhance fine-grained feature representation and improve boundary localization of small targets. Experimental results demonstrate that our method achieves mean average precision scores of 70.9% and 92.1% on two challenging datasets, surpassing recent state-of-the-art detectors by a remarkable margin.
