GAB-YOLO: a lightweight deep learning model for real-time detection of abnormal behaviors in juvenile greater amberjack fish by Mingxin Liu, Mingxin Liu, Chun Zhang, Cong Lin, Cong Lin

“…This enhancement improves the model’s robustness against challenges such as image blurring, occlusion, and false detections in complex environments. Additionally, the PMSRNet module is integrated into the backbone network to replace C2f, improving the model’s feature extraction capabilities through multi-scale feature fusion and enhanced spatial information capture, which aids in the accurate localization of the fish target.Furthermore, by incorporating shared decoupled heads for classification and regression features, alongside GroupConv and DBB(Diverse Branch Block) modules in the detection head, we significantly reduce the model’s parameter count while simultaneously improving its accuracy and robustness. …”
