LiM-YOLO: Less is More with Pyramid Level Shift and Normalized Auxiliary Branch for Ship Detection in Optical Remote Sensing Imagery
LiM-YOLO is a streamlined ship detection model for optical remote sensing imagery that achieves state-of-the-art accuracy with fewer parameters by shifting the detection pyramid from P3-P5 to P2-P4 to better resolve small vessels and employing Group Normalization to stabilize training on high-resolution inputs.
