Attention from Above: A Multimodal Model for Drone-Based Object Localization
This model improves small object detection in drone imagery by modifying YOLOv8 with attention-based A2C2f layers and integrating text prompts via a vision-language PAN module. By enhancing local feature representation and fusing visual data with language, the system achieves significant gains in precision, recall, and mAP on the VisDrone dataset.
