An efficient network for object detection in scale-imbalanced remote sensing images by Li Zhongyu, Jing Xiaoping, Sun Rui, Yang Yazhi, Wang Wei, Zhu Hongzhen

“…The model first introduces an improved frequency channel attention mechanism to design a feature extraction module to improve the extraction of key features by the neural network; second, considering that the complete intersection over union method does not comprehensively consider the aspect ratio of the bounding box, which will cause the loss of small-scale target feature information, the efficient intersection over union method is used to improve it; then, because of the high missed detection rate of the non-maximum suppression (NMS) method, Soft-EIoU-NMS is used to replace the original NMS method. …”

ELNet: An Efficient and Lightweight Network for Small Object Detection in UAV Imagery by Hui Li, Jianbo Ma, Jianlin Zhang

“…In addition, since YOLOv12n employs standard convolution for downsampling, which is inefficient for extracting UAV image features, we design a novel downsampling module, EDown, to further reduce model size and enable more efficient feature extraction. Finally, to improve detection in UAV imagery with dense, small, and scale-varying objects, we propose DIMB-C3k2, an enhanced module built upon C3k2, which boosts feature extraction under complex conditions. …”

Solar-driven photocatalytic removal of anti-microbial drugs – Comparison of the efficiency of selected photocatalysts by Katarzyna Kowalska, Paulina Sowik, Wacław Bartolewski, Humam Ahmed, Ewa Felis

“…ZnO is recently mentioned to be an alternative to TiO2, a commonly used photocatalyst, for environmental applications, but there is still a lack of information on its operation efficiency, especially in more complex matrices. This study aimed to compare the efficiency of TiO2-P25 and ZnO in the removal of selected veterinary sulfonamides (SAs), namely: sulfadiazine (SDZ), sulfamethoxazole (SMX), and sulfamethazine (SMT) from distilled water (DW), river water (RW), and municipal wastewater effluent (MWWE). …”
