MCAD-DETR: a real-time lightweight tobacco leaf disease and damage detection model
摘要
Real-time and accurate detection of tobacco leaf diseases and damage is essential for agricultural modernization. However, complex field backgrounds, highly similar pathological characteristics, and the inherent trade-off between high precision and lightweight design remain significant challenges. To address these issues, we propose MCAD-DETR (Multi-scale Complementary Additive Diffusion Detection Transformer), a lightweight real-time tobacco leaf disease and damage detection model. First, we construct an Efficient Feature Complementary Mapping Network (EFCMNet) as the feature extraction network, which enhances feature extraction capabilities while maintaining a low-parameter count. We also introduce the Efficient Additive Attention Block (EAA Block) to decouple high- and low-frequency features, thereby strengthening the representation of pathological details and suppressing background interference. Additionally, a Tri-Focal Diffusion Feature Pyramid Network (TFDFPN) is designed to improve multi-scale detection performance and optimize model efficiency. To address class imbalance and small-object detection in the dataset, we propose a multi-dimensional joint loss function. Experimental results demonstrate that MCAD-DETR achieves an
