Abstract To address the challenge of real-time detection of unauthorized drone intrusions in complex low-altitude urban environments such as parks and airports, this paper proposes an enhanced MBS-YOLO (Multi-Branch Small Target Detection YOLO) model for anti-drone object detection, based on the YOLOv8 architecture. To overcome the limitations of existing methods in detecting small objects within complex backgrounds, we designed a C2f-Pu module with excellent feature extraction capability and a more compact parameter set, aiming to reduce the model’s computational complexity. To improve multi-scale feature fusion, we construct a Multi-Branch Feature Pyramid Network (MB-FPN) that employs a… More >
