SFN-YOLO model enhances poultry detection with scale-aware fusion

Researchers have developed SFN-YOLO, a novel approach for detecting and localizing poultry in free-range farming environments. This method employs scale-aware fusion to integrate local and global features, enhancing detection accuracy amidst complex backgrounds and varied target sizes. The accompanying M-SCOPE dataset and SFN-YOLO model demonstrate strong performance, achieving 80.7% mAP with significantly fewer parameters than existing benchmarks, enabling real-time application in smart farming systems.
