Detection and counting of wheat heads are crucial for wheat yield estimation. To address the issues of overlapping and small volumes of wheat heads on complex backgrounds, this paper proposes the YOLOv7-MA model. By introducing micro-scale detection...
The tasseling stage of maize, as a critical period of maize cultivation, is essential for predicting maize yield and understanding the normal condition of maize growth. However, the branches overlap each other during the growth of maize seedlings and...
Object detection in UAV imagery is hindered by micro-scale targets, dense distributions, and cluttered backgrounds, where existing detectors fail to simultaneously achieve high accuracy and real-time throughput. We propose ECP-YOLO, a lightweight fra...
Head and neck cancers (HNCs) account for ~4% of all cancers in North America and encompass cancers affecting the oral cavity, pharynx, larynx, sinuses, nasal cavity, and salivary glands. The anatomical complexity of the head and neck region, characte...
Printed circuit board (PCB) defect detection remains challenging because micro-scale defects often exhibit weak contrast and are easily suppressed by conventional downsampling and balanced multi-scale detection heads. To address these limitations, th...
In the manufacturing of chips, the accurate and effective detection of internal bubble defects of chips is essential to maintain product reliability. In general, the inspection is performed manually by viewing X-ray images, which is time-consuming an...
In semiconductor manufacturing, automated wafer defect detection is critical for ensuring chip yield and process stability. In seismically active regions, sub-millimeter conveyor micro-displacements during seismic events can produce complex geometric...
There is a growing field that is devoted to developing inexpensive microscopes and measurement devices by leveraging low-cost commercial parts that can be controlled using smartphones or embedded devices, such as Arduino and Raspbery Pi. Examples inc...
Background/Objectives: Trabecular bone exhibits brittle behaviour governed by microscale deformation and damage, yet quantifying crack progression is difficult because classical fracture-mechanics approaches do not apply to architecturally discontinu...
