TIBER-YOLO: an improved lightweight model for underwater object detection
This study presents TRACON + Inner-WIoU + BiFPN + EMPC-DetectoR (TIBER-YOLO), an improved lightweight detector for underwater object detection. Built on You Only Look Once version 8 small (YOLOv8s), the model introduces four modifications to address image degradation, small-object detection, and computational cost. Fir...
