Apex-Net: An Hourglass-Apex Enhanced Multi-Scale Network for Remote Sensing Small Object Detection
Detecting objects in aerial imagery is difficult because tiny targets occupy only a few pixels and cluttered backgrounds weaken discriminative cues. This paper presents Apex-Net, an efficient YOLOv11-based detector. Its Hourglass-Apex hierarchy combines a high-resolution P2 branch, scale-adaptive circular sampling, and...
