TL;DR

Gated Adaptive Fusion Detector (GAF-Det), a single-stage detector whose neck replaces fixed-weight concatenation with a Lightweight Gated Feature Fusion (LGFF) module that dynamically computes per-channel fusion weights conditioned on both the semantic and spatial streams, demonstrating that input-adaptive feature fusion and efficient downsampling together yield a favorable accuracy–latency trade-off for general-purpose edge deployment.

Information-Preserving Lightweight Object Detection Network Utilizing Dynamic Gating and Multi-Scale Selection

Visual object detection is essential for environment perception in intelligent robots, automated assembly, unmanned inspection, and industrial detection systems. Although lightweight detectors reduce complexity through compact architectures, fixed convolutional units, and progressive downsampling, their limited scale r...

A lightweight transformer-based real-time object detection method for edge devices

Achieving high-accuracy, low-latency real-time object detection on resource-constrained edge devices is a core challenge in computer vision. Existing Transformer-based detectors are accurate, but their large parameter counts and computational cost hinder direct edge deployment. This paper proposes LT-Det, a lightweight...

BMF-DETR: Pseudo-Depth-Guided Bidirectional Multi-Strategy Fusion for End-to-End Object Detection

Transformer-based detectors model long-range context effectively, yet their representations remain dominated by RGB appearance and can become unreliable in cluttered, occluded, or crowded scenes. We present BMF-DETR, a pseudo-depth-guided detector that introduces RGB-derived geometric structure without requiring a dept...

CIE-Det: a low-light object detector via cascaded illumination enhancement and dynamic semantic alignment

Object detection in low-light environments is severely degraded by photon starvation, leading to feature concealment, noise amplification during feature fusion, and motion blur caused by long exposure. To address the limitations of the conventional “enhancement-then-detection” pipeline, this paper proposes CIE-Det, an...
