Aug 2026 · Journal of Supercomputing · Vol 82 · 0 citations · 30 references

TL;DR

An improved lightweight YOLOv11-based model that integrates three complementary modules for road crack detection is proposed that integrates an improved efficient multi-scale attention (iEMA) module embedded at the shallow high-resolution feature layer (P3) and the Quality Focal Loss (QFL) function is adopted to resolve the inconsistency between classification confidence and localization quality.
