UFO-DETR: Frequency-Guided End-to-End Detector for UAV Tiny Objects

UFO-DETR is an end‑to‑end object detection framework designed for UAV imagery, addressing challenges such as scale variation, dense distribution, and the prevalence of tiny targets. It employs an LSKNet backbone to optimize receptive fields and reduce parameters, integrates DAttention and AIFI modules for flexible multi‑scale spatial modeling, and introduces a DynFreq‑C3 module that enhances small target detection via cross‑space frequency feature enhancement. Experiments demonstrate that UFO‑DETR outperforms RT‑DETR‑L in detection accuracy while improving computational efficiency, making it suitable for UAV edge computing.
