摘要

Accurate detection of blood cells in peripheral blood smears is important for clinical analysis, and real-time processing is desirable for practical microscopy workflows. However, microscopic images contain strong scale variation, dense cell adhesion, boundary truncation, and staining artifacts. We propose MR-YOLO, a lightweight YOLOv8n-based detector for blood-cell detection. MR-YOLO integrates MB-D2CM for efficient multi-scale representation, RMSPF for contextual aggregation, MSFFM for adaptive local–global feature fusion, and CSB-QAL for class- and scale-aware optimization. On BCCD, MR-YOLO achieves 94.7% \(\text {mAP}@0.5\) mAP @ 0.5 and 66.0% \(\text {mAP}@0.5:0.95\) mAP @ 0.5 : 0.95 with 2.9M parameters and 8.3 GFLOPs, while running at approximately 130 FPS on an RTX 4060Ti GPU with batch size 1. Compared with YOLOv8n, it improves \(\text {mAP}@0.5\) mAP @ 0.5 by 3.4 points with a throughput reduction from 149 to 130 FPS. Because BCCD is small, its results are treated as controlled within-dataset evidence, and target-domain generalization is further evaluated on TXL-PBC. The results suggest that MR-YOLO provides a compact and GPU real-time solution for microscopic blood-cell detection.
