Abstract:
      To address the challenges of diverse weeds and high morphological similarity between crops and weeds in intercropping systems in southwestern China, an improved CSM-YOLO model based on YOLOv8n-seg was proposed. The model incorporates a CA attention mechanism to enhance geometric feature extraction, SCConv convolution to suppress background noise, and Matrix NMS to accelerate inference. A “crop\|environment\|weed” coupled image dataset was constructed for validation. The results showed that the model achieves a 0.1%~1.3% improvement in weed recognition accuracy compared to the baseline model, with an inference speed of 197.36 FPS. The model's precision, mAP@0.5, and recall rate reached 92.9%, 94.0%, and 90.7%, respectively, outperforming mainstream models. Visualization results further confirmed its superior performance, particularly in small\|target weed detection tasks, with heatmaps indicating highly selective attention to crop and weed regions. This study provides efficient technical support for weed recognition in soybean\|corn intercropping systems.
