Efficient Brood Cell Detection in Layer Trap Nests for Bees and Wasps: Balancing Labeling Effort and Species Coverage
- 引入约束误检损失,自动屏蔽未标注数据干扰
- 在减少70%标注工作量下保持检测精度
- 适合生态研究者快速分析蜂类巢穴数据
监测洞巢型野生蜂与黄蜂对生物多样性研究至关重要。层叠式陷阱巢(LTNs)正成为研究其数量与物种丰富度的有力工具,可揭示其筑巢行为与生态需求。但人工评估LTNs以检测和分类巢室费时费力。针对这一问题,本文提出基于深度学习的高效巢室检测与分类方法。由于巢室密集分布,单张图像标注成本高;同时存在显著类别分布不均,常见物种样本远多于稀有物种。全面标注常见物种耗时且加剧数据不平衡,而部分标注则导致数据不完整,降低模型性能。为此,我们提出新型约束误检损失(CFPL),动态屏蔽未标注数据的预测结果,防止其干扰训练中的分类损失。实验表明,该方法有效提升检测性能,在降低标注负担的同时缓解类别不平衡问题。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Monitoring cavity-nesting wild bees and wasps is vital for biodiversity research and conservation. Layer trap nests (LTNs) are emerging as a valuable tool to study the abundance and species richness of these insects, offering insights into their nesting activities and ecological needs. However, manually evaluating LTNs to detect and classify brood cells is labor-intensive and time-consuming. To address this, we propose a deep learning based approach for efficient brood cell detection and classification in LTNs. LTNs present additional challenges due to densely packed brood cells, leading to a high labeling effort per image. Moreover, we observe a significant imbalance in class distribution, with common species having notably more occurrences than rare species. Comprehensive labeling of common species is time-consuming and exacerbates data imbalance, while partial labeling introduces data incompleteness which degrades model performance. To reduce labeling effort and mitigate the impact of unlabeled data, we introduce a novel Constrained False Positive Loss (CFPL) strategy. CFPL dynamically masks predictions from unlabeled data, preventing them from interfering with the classification loss during training. Experimental results demonstrate that our method improves detection performance, balances model accuracy and labeling effort, while also mitigating class imbalance.
