Small Target Detection Based on Mask-Enhanced Attention Fusion of Visible and Infrared Remote Sensing Images

arXiv CS.CV

ArXi:2603.06925v1 Announce Type: new Targets in remote sensing images are usually small, weakly textured, and easily disturbed by complex backgrounds, challenging high-precision detection with general algorithms. Building on our earlier ESM-YOLO, this work presents ESM-YOLO+ as a lightweight visible infrared fusion network. To enhance detection, ESM-YOLO+ includes two key innovations.
