RAD-YOLO: a lightweight edge-deployed visual measurement method for small-object detection in UAV imagery
Small-object detection in unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) remote-sensing imagery remains difficult because targets often have low spatial resolution, dense spatial distribution, partial occlusion and strong background clutter. These factors weaken discriminative features and restrict real-time inference on embedded edge...
