SPO-YOLO: Lightweight Small-Object Detection for UAV Aerial Imagery with Federated Learning
Detecting small objects in unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) aerial imagery remains challenging due to tiny target scales, cluttered backgrounds, and strict onboard resource constraints. We propose SPO-YOLO, a lightweight small-object-oriented detector built upon YOLOv11n. SPO-YOLO introduces (i) a P2 high-resolution det...
