River floating object detection with transformer model in real time by Chong Zhang, Jie Yue, Jianglong Fu, Shouluan Wu

“…Our experimental findings are compelling: LR-DETR achieves a 5% increase in mean Average Precision (mAP) at an Intersection over Union (IoU) threshold of 0.5, a 25.8% reduction in parameter count, and a 22.8% decrease in GFLOPs, compared to the RT-DETR algorithm. These improvements are particularly pronounced in the real-time detection of river floating objects, showcasing LR-DETR’s potential in specific environmental monitoring scenarios. …”
