Lightweight deep neural network for contour detection and extraction of wheat spikes in complex field environments by Xin Xu, Haiyang Zhang, Jiangchuan Lu, Ziyi Guo, Juanjuan Zhang, Jibo Yue, Hongbo Qiao, Xinming Ma

“…The algorithm innovatively constructs a lightweight depthwise separable network (LDSNet) as backbone, balancing computational efficiency and accuracy through channel re-parameterization strategy; incorporates an Efficient Local Attention (ELA) module to build feature enhancement networks, and employs dual-path feature fusion mechanisms to strengthen edge texture responses, significantly improving discrimination of overlapping spikes and complex backgrounds. Further optimizes the loss function system by replacing traditional IoU with Scylla Intersection over Union (SIoU) metric, enhancing bounding box regression through dynamic focus factors, and adding high-resolution small-object detection layers to mitigate dense spikelet feature loss. …”
