MAL-YOLO: a lightweight algorithm for target detection in side-scan sonar images based on multi-scale feature fusion and attention mechanism

Side-scan sonar image target detection is of great significance in seabed resource exploration and other fields. However, affected by the complex underwater environment, side-scan sonar images have the problems of few target samples and large differences in the scale of each type of target. In addit...
