摘要

In underwater image analysis, challenges such as complex environments, low model performance, and slow processing efficiency hinder effective object detection, which is crucial for real-time monitoring. To address these issues, we propose a high-precision underwater object detection model named YOLO-LDFE. To overcome the limitations of existing datasets, we have developed a comprehensive multi-species underwater biological dataset, MCUA, containing 9327 labeled images across 14 categories. The primary contributions of this work are as follows: (1) SPPF_SCSA, which integrates multi-semantic information with channel-space attention mechanisms to enhance performance; (2) the substitution of traditional convolutions with GSConv in C2f, reducing model size while maintaining feature extraction; (3) LEDF, which improves performance through multi-level, dense connections. YOLO-LDFE achieves exceptional results, with an average precision of 93% on the URPC2021 dataset, outperforming existing algorithms while maintaining high detection speed, demonstrating its potential for real-time underwater monitoring.
