IMC-YOLO: a detection model for assisted razor clam fishing in the mudflat environment by Jianhao Xu, Lijie Cao, Lanlan Pan, Xiankun Li, Lei Zhang, Hongyong Gao, Weibo Song

“…To improve the efficiency of razor clam fishing and at the same time reduce the damage to the natural environment, in this study, a razor clam burrows dataset is established, and an intelligent razor clam fishing method is proposed, which realizes the accurate identification and counting of razor clam burrows by introducing the object detection technology into the razor clam fishing activity. A detection model called intertidal mudflat culture-You Only Look Once (IMC-YOLO) is proposed in this study by making improvements upon You Only Look Once version 8 (YOLOv8). …”
