SAHI-Tuned YOLOv5 for UAV Detection of TM-62 Anti-Tank Landmines: Small-Object, Occlusion-Robust, Real-Time Pipeline

Computers
Anti-tank landmines endanger post-conflict recovery. Detecting camouflaged TM-62 landmines in low-altitude unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) imagery is challenging because targets occupy few pixels and are low-contrast and often occluded.
