A Procedure for Developing a Flight Mechanics Model of a Three-Surface Drone Using Semi-Empirical Methods by Stefano Cacciola, Laura Testa, Matteo Saponi

“…Aircraft and fixed-wing drones, designed to perform vertical take-off and landing (VTOL), often incorporate unconventional configurations that offer unique capabilities but simultaneously pose significant challenges in flight mechanics modeling, whose reliability strongly depends on the correct tuning of the inertial and aerodynamic parameters. Having a good characterization of the aerodynamics represents a critical issue, especially in the design and optimization of unconventional aircraft configurations, when, indeed, one is bound to employ empirical or semi-empirical methods, devised for conventional geometries, that struggle to capture complex aerodynamic interactions. …”

YOLOv8-BaitScan: A Lightweight and Robust Framework for Accurate Bait Detection and Counting in Aquaculture by Jian Li, Zehao Zhang, Yanan Wei, Tan Wang

“…The key innovations are as follows: (1) By incorporating the channel prior convolutional attention (CPCA) into the final layer of the backbone, the model efficiently extracts spatial relationships and dynamically allocates weights across the channel and spatial dimensions. (2) The minimum points distance intersection over union (MPDIoU) loss function improves the model’s localization accuracy for bait bounding boxes. (3) The structure of the Neck network is optimized by adding a tiny-target detection layer, which improves the recall rate for small, distant bait targets and significantly reduces the miss rate. (4) We design the lightweight detection head named Detect-Efficient, incorporating the GhostConv and C2f-GDC module into the network to effectively reduce the overall number of parameters and computational cost of the model. …”
