Abstract

Traditional object detection methods, such as anchor-based YOLO variants, face challenges due to the irregular shapes and small sizes of these contaminants. This paper introduces a novel approach that leverages swarm Intelligence to enhance the performance of a keypoint-driven YOLO framework. By integrating keypoint detection with Boundary-Aware Vectors (BBAVectors) and utilizing swarm intelligence algorithms for model optimization, our approach improves the localization and identification of small, irregularly shaped non-metallic objects. By optimizing the feature extraction process through swarm-based techniques and incorporating keypoint-driven object detection, our model significantly boosts precision and recall compared to traditional methods. Evaluated on a custom dataset of fiber like materials, our approach achieves a mean Average Precision (mAP) of 92.9% at IoU 0.5, demonstrating strong performance in real-world applications.
