摘要

Underwater object detection encounters technical challenges such as complex background interference, small target scales, random distribution directions, and diverse biomorphology. To address these critical issues, this study proposes LML-YOLO, an enhanced lightweight model based on YOLO11n, which integrates the Lightweight Receptive-Field Attention Convolutional (LRFAConv) module and Multidimensional Directional Collaborative Attention (MDCA). LRFAConv dynamically optimizes convolutional kernel parameters through a receptive-field attention mechanism, effectively enhancing target feature extraction while suppressing background interference. MDCA extends multidimensional spatial collaborative attention by incorporating diagonal and anti-angle directional attention, improving multi-angle feature perception. Additionally, the Neck module uses linear deformable attention convolution (LDAConv), combining deformable convolution with a perceptual field attention mechanism to better adapt to diverse biological morphologies. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed LML-YOLO achieves mAP scores of 65.2%, 29.8%, and 55% on DUO, UDD, and UODD datasets, respectively, which outperform the original model by 2.1%, 1.4%, and 1.2%, while reducing parameters and GFLOPs by 6.9% and 4.7%. These advancements establish a novel method in efficient underwater object detection, particularly beneficial for marine biological resource monitoring and biodiversity conservation applications.
