Improved YOLOv5s rail tiny defect detection method integrating CA attention mechanism and transposed convolution
To address challenges in railway defect detection including difficult feature extraction, low small-target detection accuracy, and complex background interference, this paper proposes an enhanced YOLOv5s-based model named CA-TC-YOLOv5s. First, a coordinate attention (CA) mechanism is integrated into the backbone's C3 m...
