Enhanced Sonar Scan Image Detection and Classification with a Modified YOLOv8-x Algorithm
摘要
Underwater environments pose unique visual challenges such as noise, low resolution, and limited data. We propose a modified YOLOv8- x with a lightweight FasterNet backbone and a C2f-Em-Fast fusion block. Tests on public sonar datasets achieved 92.1% precision, 87.3% recall, and 86.4% mAP while reducing computation by over 80%, demonstrating real-time potential for sonar imaging.
