FRM-hm: Heatmap Refinement for Small Object Detection in Center-based Detectors with Application to Rice-field Bird Monitoring
—The automatic detection of granivorous birds in images acquired in rice-field environments is an important challenge for crop protection, yet it remains difficult due to the small object size, scale variations, partial occlusions, and the complexity of natural scenes. We propose REBDetX01, an object detection model ba...
