Research on Improved YOLO11 for Detecting Small Targets in Sonar Images Based on Data Enhancement by Xiaochuan Wang, Zhiqiang Zhang, Xiaodong Shang

“…Lastly, we employ a hybrid training strategy that combines pre-training with ADA-StyleGAN3-generated data and transfer learning with real data to alleviate the problem of insufficient training samples. The experiments show that, compared to the baseline YOLOv11n, the improved model’s precision and recall increase to 92% and 90.3%, respectively, and mAP50 rises by 12.7 percentage points, highlighting the effectiveness of the SFE-YOLO network and its transfer learning strategy in tackling the challenges of sparse small target features and strong noise interference in sonar images.…”
