An Improved YOLOX Algorithm for Forest Insect Pest Detection. [PDF]
Comput Intell Neurosci, 2022 A large number of insect pests in the forest will seriously affect the construction of forest resources and agriculture in China. In this regard, in order to deeply understand and analyze the existing forest pest detection technology, it is found that it cannot meet practical needs.
