提升复杂环境下小蜂类昆虫检测精度,关键在模型选型与输入分辨率
Small-Pollinator Detection in Cluttered Field Video

- 采用RF-DETR模型并提高输入分辨率至1344像素
- 达0.405 mAP50:95,优于1120像素模型和YOLO基线
- 小目标和稀有物种受益最明显,时序后处理效果有限
在农田视频中检测传粉昆虫极具挑战:目标小、视觉相似,且常被植被遮挡、模糊。本文在单GPU算力限制下,基于BuzzSpot数据集,系统比较了YOLO与RF-DETR模型在不同输入分辨率下的表现,并评估了切片推理融合、类别门控融合、按尺寸路由集成及事后时序处理等策略。结果显示,1344像素输入的RF-DETR Large模型取得最佳隐藏测试性能,mAP50:95达0.405,显著优于1120像素模型(0.379)和最优单模型YOLO26m基线(0.366)。提升模型与分辨率带来的增益远超增加推理复杂度,尤其对小型物体及罕见的熊蜂、蛾类效果显著。切片融合、尺寸路由集成和1536像素热启动均未超越该结果,事后时序处理亦未改善泄漏诊断评估。错误分析指出,蜜蜂与食蚜蝇的区分仍是主要瓶颈,相邻帧难以提供足够证据支持修正。这提示应在分类前进行特征级时序聚合。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Detecting pollinators in field video is challenging: targets are small, visually similar, and observed against cluttered vegetation under blur and occlusion. We present a systematic empirical study of small-pollinator detection under a practical single-GPU compute budget. Using the BuzzSpot challenge dataset, we compare YOLO and RF-DETR models across input resolutions and evaluate sliced inference, class-gated fusion, size-routed ensembling, and post-hoc temporal processing. RF-DETR Large at 1344-pixel resolution achieved our best hidden-test result, reaching 0.405 mAP50:95 and outperforming the 1120-pixel model (0.379) and the best single-model YOLO26m baseline (0.366). The strongest gains came from adopting RF-DETR and increasing its input resolution, indicating that detector choice and input resolution were more effective levers than added inference-time complexity; the resolution gain was strongest for small objects and the rarer bumblebee and moth classes. Sliced-inference fusion, size-routed ensembling, and warm-started 1536-pixel continuation did not surpass this result, while post-hoc temporal processing did not improve the leaked diagnostic evaluation. Error analysis identified bee-hoverfly discrimination as the clearest remaining bottleneck: neighboring frames rarely supplied correctly classified hoverfly evidence for post-hoc correction. These findings motivate learned feature-level temporal aggregation before the final classification decision.
