RunwayGuard RT-DETR-L (FOD-A grouped split)

Fine-tuned RT-DETR-L (Ultralytics 8.4.147) for visible airport foreign-object debris (FOD) on FOD-A v2.1, using a deterministic grouped train/val/test split (seed 42).

Files

File	Role
best.pt	Selected checkpoint (best val fitness during training)
results.csv	Per-epoch train/val curves
test_metrics.json	Held-out grouped-test metrics

Checksum

SHA256(best.pt) = C2D2A418069D9AC8658CA85B8359A9E1AB740CE96826C5138178B080F9243269

Scope / limits

Detects visible candidate debris in an image. Does not certify runway clearance, material, mass, or future aircraft damage. See the GitHub repo memo for split rationale and failure cases.
