构建真实农田环境下的传粉昆虫图像数据集,助力小目标自动监测。
BuzzSet v1.0: A Dataset for Pollinator Detection in Field Conditions
- 采集7856张实地图像,标注超8000个传粉昆虫实例
- 基于Transformer的检测器在蜂类识别上达F1 0.94以上
- 专为隐蔽、快速移动的小昆虫设计,适合生态视觉研究
传粉昆虫如蜜蜂和熊蜂对全球粮食生产与生态系统稳定至关重要,但正因人为与环境压力而数量下降。农业环境中实现可扩展、自动化监测仍具挑战,主要因小型、快速移动且常具伪装的昆虫难以检测。为此,我们推出BuzzSet v1.0,一个大规模高分辨率传粉昆虫图像数据集,涵盖真实田间条件。该数据集包含7,856张经人工验证的图像,超过8,000个标注实例,分属三类:蜜蜂数、熊蜂类、未识别昆虫。初始标注由外部数据训练的YOLOv12模型生成,后通过开源工具进行人工校验。所有图像被预处理为256×256像素子图以提升小昆虫检测效果。我们提供了基于RF-DETR的基准模型,其在蜜蜂与熊蜂分类上分别达到0.94和0.92的F1分数,类别混淆极低。未识别类因标签模糊及样本较少仍具难度,但有助于评估模型鲁棒性。整体检测性能([email protected]为0.559)体现了数据集的挑战性及其推动真实生态条件下小目标检测发展的潜力。未来工作将拓展至版本2.0并评估更多检测策略。BuzzSet为生态计算机视觉设立了新基准,核心挑战在于可靠识别频繁隐藏于自然植被中的昆虫,这一难题仍需进一步研究。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Pollinator insects such as honeybees and bumblebees are vital to global food production and ecosystem stability, yet their populations are declining due to anthropogenic and environmental stressors. Scalable, automated monitoring in agricultural environments remains an open challenge due to the difficulty of detecting small, fast-moving, and often camouflaged insects. To address this, we present BuzzSet v1.0, a large-scale dataset of high-resolution pollinator images collected under real field conditions. BuzzSet contains 7,856 manually verified images with more than 8,000 annotated instances across three classes: honeybees, bumblebees, and unidentified insects. Initial annotations were produced using a YOLOv12 model trained on external data and refined through human verification with open-source tools. All images were preprocessed into 256 x 256 tiles to improve the detection of small insects. We provide baselines using the RF-DETR transformer-based object detector. The model achieves strong classification accuracy with F1 scores of 0.94 and 0.92 for honeybees and bumblebees, with minimal confusion between these categories. The unidentified class remains more difficult due to label ambiguity and fewer samples, yet still contributes insights for robustness evaluation. Overall detection performance (mAP at 0.50 of 0.559) illustrates the challenging nature of the dataset and its potential to drive advances in small object detection under realistic ecological conditions. Future work focuses on expanding the dataset to version 2.0 with additional annotations and evaluating further detection strategies. BuzzSet establishes a benchmark for ecological computer vision, with the primary challenge being reliable detection of insects frequently camouflaged within natural vegetation, highlighting an open problem for future research.
