| Summary: | Abstract Soil fauna play a critical role in maintaining ecosystem functions and assessing environmental health, making accurate and efficient detection essential. Therefore, this paper proposes an improved algorithm based on You Only Look Once (YOLO) v9, which enhances feature capture capability while reducing parameters by 33.6%. First, a dynamic local shuffle module (DLSConv) is proposed, which utilizes convolutions and adaptive shuffling, effectively enhancing information interaction and feature richness. Additionally, different efficient modules with multi-branch fusion structures, integrating DLSConv, are adopted for the Backbone and Neck to enhance feature extraction and fusion, while optimizing the feature maps fed into the detection head, thereby improving the network’s ability to extract features and detect targets. Ablation experiments demonstrate that the model achieves a 2.3% improvement in F-score and 1.8% increase in mean average precision (mAP)@50. On the soil fauna dataset, it attains 94.3% in mAP@75, significantly outperforming the baseline in challenging scenarios. These results highlight the model’s efficiency and reliability for soil fauna detection on resource-constrained devices. And this capability can significantly enhance ecological monitoring through scalable biodiversity assessment and empowers precision agriculture applications via actionable insights into soil health and faunal activity, underpinning sustainable land management practices. |
