Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of target detection, and in particular to a method for detecting mangrove tree species based on YOLO11 multi-level perception calibration. Background Technology
[0002] Mangroves, as a unique woody plant community in the tropical and subtropical intertidal zones, play an irreplaceable ecological role in maintaining coastal biodiversity, protecting seawalls, and contributing to the global carbon cycle. Accurate monitoring of mangrove species distribution is a crucial prerequisite for ecological protection, degradation restoration, and carbon sequestration assessment. With the rapid evolution of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) remote sensing technology, automated tree species identification using high-resolution UAV imagery combined with deep learning algorithms has become a mainstream research approach in the field of ecological monitoring. This technology provides forestry departments with precise species composition information through real-time analysis of large-scale images acquired by UAVs, demonstrating significant application value in early warning and protection against dynamic changes in the coastal environment.
[0003] When faced with the complex environment of mangrove wetlands, existing general detection algorithms such as YOLO11 still face significant technical bottlenecks. Especially in dense scenes where mangrove communities are highly clustered and canopies overlap, the visual boundaries between individual canopy members are extremely blurred, making it difficult for algorithms to accurately extract discriminative edge features, leading to a significant drop in detection accuracy. Traditional convolutional neural networks, when performing deep feature extraction, often experience severe collapse in the spatial representation of subtle geometric structures in the feature map as the number of downsampling layers increases. Meanwhile, the unique wetland distribution environment of mangroves, such as the specular reflection of tidal water surfaces and the shadow interference from silt mudflats, presents significant challenges to feature fusion. Existing feature pyramid structures, when processing heterogeneous feature flows, typically employ simple channel splicing or element-wise addition. This linear feature aggregation mechanism cannot effectively identify and suppress noise signals from complex backgrounds, resulting in a "semantic dilution" phenomenon during the alignment of high-level semantic features and low-level spatial features. Furthermore, the algorithm exhibits significant representational shortcomings when dealing with the dramatic scale differences between seedlings and mature trees.
[0004] To improve the accuracy of tree species detection and achieve full-scale perceptual alignment in complex mangrove environments, this invention deeply improves the YOLO11 architecture. By introducing a perceptual calibration module (PCS) at the beginning of the backbone network, and using a second-order gradient operator to explicitly capture prior geometric edge properties, the problem of structural information loss in the initial representation stage is solved. Combined with the C3K2-SGA module composed of structure-guided enhancement units (SGAs), the model can continuously calibrate texture representation during deep feature extraction. For the feature transition nodes of the neck network, this invention uses a gated interaction module (GIM) to replace the traditional fusion method, and achieves dynamic alignment of spatial details and semantic information and background suppression through a bidirectional gating mechanism. This invention constructs a multi-level perceptual calibration system, which effectively solves the problems of dense occlusion, background interference, and multi-scale target mismatch without significantly increasing the computational burden, and significantly improves the overall robustness of mangrove tree species detection. Summary of the Invention
