A Lightweight Small-UAV Detection via Synergistically Enhanced YOLOv11
Detecting small unauthorized UAVs against complex backgrounds is challenging: targets can be just a few pixels wide, background clutter is pervasive, and the detection system must run on resource-constrained edge hardware. This paper presents a lightweight detector built on YOLOv11 that jointly addresses background sup...
