Agricultural Pest Detection Method Based on YOLOv8- MNFE Fusion Model

Yihao Chen, Jiayu Zhao, Yanjie Zhao, Tingting Yan, Qi Li

Abstract


Agricultural pests pose a significant threat to global food security, and traditional detection methods often suffer from inefficiency and inaccuracy. To address these challenges, this paper proposes an advanced agricultural pest detection method based on the YOLOv8-
MNFE fusion model. The proposed model integrates the lightweight MobileNetV3 backbone network with the Focal-EIoU loss function,
optimizing both the parameter scale and the accuracy of small target localization. Extensive experiments were conducted using the IP102
pest dataset to evaluate the models performance. Ablation studies were performed to validate the effectiveness of the improved modules,
and comparisons were made with other mainstream detection models. The results demonstrate that the YOLOv8-MNFE model achieves
a mean average precision (mAP50) of 98.4% and a mAP50-95 of 79.3%, with both detection speed and accuracy significantly surpassing
existing methods. This study contributes to the ongoing efforts to enhance pest detection technologies, thereby supporting sustainable agricultural practices and food security.
