YOLO-MARS for Infrared Target Detection: Towards near Space

In response to problems such as large target scale variations, strong background noise, and blurred features leading by low contrast in infrared target detection in near space environments, this paper proposes an efficient detection model, YOLO-MARS, which is based on YOLOv8. The model introduces a...
