DRR-YOLO: A Study of Small Target Multi-Modal Defect Detection for Multiple Types of Insulators Based on Large Convolution Kernel by Mingming Hu, Jun Liu, Junfu Liu

“…Firstly, a new module DRR is proposed based on Dilated Re-param Block (DRB) and Dilation-wise Residual (DWR), which is combined with the C2f module of the YOLOv8 model to enhance the model&#x2019;s detection effect for targets at different scales; Secondly, the Large Separable Kernel Attention SPPF (LSPPF) module is proposed to replace the SPPF in the original model, which enables the model to better preserve the feature information of the target while streamlining the structure; In addition, the advantages of MPDIoU and Inner-IoU are combined, and the loss function of the original model is replaced with Inner-MPDIoU. …”
