摘要

Maize disease detection in natural environments presents multiple challenges, including weak target features, background noise interference, and high model complexity. To address these issues, we propose a spatial multi-scale efficient real-time detector (SMSERT-DETR). The network integrates a SwConv-ResNet backbone to reduce redundant computation, along with an efficient attention module that enhances the detection of weak feature regions and improves recognition of subtle disease symptoms. Furthermore, we introduce a novel spatial multi-scale feature fusion architecture that suppresses irrelevant background noise and captures multi-scale target features, thereby further improving the model’s feature extraction capabilities. Experimental results on the PlantVillage maize disease dataset demonstrate that our proposed method achieves a precision of 93.6%, recall of 85.7%, mAP50 of 92%, and mAP50:95 of 77%, significantly outperforming other common object detection algorithms on the same dataset. Additionally, SMSERT-DETR achieves an 18.4% reduction in GFLOPS and a 33% reduction in parameter count, enabling efficient deployment in resource-constrained environments.
