Researchers have developed a novel framework for small object detection that shifts from traditional spatial-domain processing to spectral-domain analysis. This approach, called the Decompose--Enhance--Reconstruct (DER) operator, utilizes lightweight modules to capture high-frequency details crucial for accurately locating tiny targets without amplifying background noise. The DERNet series, an instantiation of this framework, has demonstrated significant performance gains on various benchmarks, outperforming existing models like YOLOv11 in parameter efficiency. AI
