🚀 Excited to open-source the Brackish Underwater Object Detection Model Zoo on Hugging Face.

This release includes:

- 🤖 8 YOLOv8, YOLOv11, and YOLOv26 object detection models trained on Brackish, spanning nano through x-large variants (RF-DETR variants to follow once I have the compute for them).
- 🐟 Benchmarked on Brackish's underwater marine-animal detection task — crab, fish, jellyfish, shrimp, small_fish, and starfish, captured 9 meters below the surface under naturally varying visibility conditions.
- 📊 Detailed model cards with mAP/precision/recall, per-class breakdowns, PR/F1 curves and confusion matrices, qualitative detection showcases, and full training configurations for reproducibility.

Headline numbers:
- 🏆 Best mAP@50: 99.3% (YOLOv8s), 85.65% mAP@50:95, 99.36% precision.
- ⚡ Best efficiency tradeoff: YOLOv26n hits 98.95% mAP@50 at just 6.1 GFLOPs (2.6M params) — within 0.35 points of the top model while using ~4.7x fewer FLOPs (28.6 GFLOPs). The whole zoo actually clusters tightly here (98.74–99.3% mAP@50 across all 8 models), so there's little accuracy left on the table by going small on this dataset.

If you're working on underwater perception, marine biology/ecology monitoring, or robotics in low-visibility environments, I hope these resources are useful.

🚀 Open-sourcing the UAVDT Object Detection Model Zoo on Hugging Face.

- 🤖 18 models: YOLOv8/v9/v10/YOLO11/YOLO26 (n–m) and RF-DETR Nano/Small/Medium.

- ⚡ YOLOv26s gets 32.98% mAP@50 at 22.8 GFLOPs, ~3.3x fewer than YOLOv26m.

Trained and evaluated with DetectionBench: https://github.com/dronefreak/DetectionBench

Dataset credit: Dawei Du et al. (ECCV 2018). It is research-only, so I don't mirror it; the dataset repo is a guide to the official source.

🌧️❄️ Free demo: remove rain, raindrops, or snow from a photo with a single model

I put together an unofficial demo for **Histoformer** (ECCV 2024, arXiv: 2407.10172), a 16.6M-parameter transformer that handles three different weather degradations, rain streaks, adherent raindrops, and snow, in one unified model. It uses a "histogram self-attention" mechanism that groups pixels by degradation intensity instead of spatial position, which is a
neat way to sidestep the usual spatial-window tradeoffs in restoration transformers.

Try it here, free on ZeroGPU: dronefreak/histoformer-weather-restoration

Upload a photo and get a before/after slider. Two checkpoints available: one tuned for real-world photos, one for the paper's synthetic benchmarks.

Also put together a cleaner, easy-to-use model card with a copy-pasteable Quickstart if you'd rather run it yourself: dronefreak/Histoformer

This is an unofficial demo/mirror, not affiliated with the original authors. All credit for the actual research goes to Shangquan Sun, Wenqi Ren, Xinwei Gao, Rui Wang, and Xiaochun Cao (@sunsean ). Official repo: https://github.com/sunshangquan/Histoformer. Weights are MIT-licensed.

Reported numbers from the paper: 32.1 PSNR on rain+fog (Outdoor-Rain), 33.1 on raindrops, 37.4 / 32.2 on light/heavy snow (Snow100K-S/L).

🚀 Excited to open-source the SeaDronesSee Object Detection Model Zoo on Hugging Face.

This release includes:

- 🤖 YOLOv8, YOLOv11, YOLOv26 and RF-DETR object detection models trained on SeaDronesSee, spanning nano through x-large YOLO variants plus RF-DETR Nano/Small/Medium.
- 🌊 Benchmarked on SeaDronesSee's maritime search-and-rescue setting — swimmers, boats, jet skis, life-saving appliances and buoys captured by UAVs over open water, at varying altitudes and non-uniform image resolutions (1080p up to 4K+).
- 📊 Detailed model cards with mAP/precision/recall, per-class breakdowns, PR/F1 curves and confusion matrices (YOLO), qualitative detection showcases, and full training configurations for reproducibility.

Headline numbers:
- 🏆 Best mAP@50: 83.47% (RF-DETR Medium), 47.49% mAP@50:95, 87.01% precision.
- ⚡ Best efficiency tradeoff: YOLOv26s hits 80.14% mAP@50 at just 22.8 GFLOPs (10.0M params) — within ~3 points of the top RF-DETR variant, while actually beating YOLOv11x's 74.82% mAP@50 using ~8.6x fewer FLOPs (196.0 GFLOPs).

The goal is to make benchmarking and experimenting with maritime UAV perception easier by providing ready-to-use pretrained checkpoints, all trained and evaluated under one shared pipeline (DetectionBench: https://github.com/dronefreak/DetectionBench).

Full credit for the underlying dataset goes to Leon Amadeus Varga, Benjamin Kiefer, Martin Messmer, and Andreas Zell (University of Tübingen, WACV 2022) — this release is an unofficial, YOLO-ready reformatting of their work (CC0-licensed), not a new dataset.

If you're working on maritime search-and-rescue, UAV perception, autonomous drones, or real-time object detection, I hope these resources are useful.

- 📊 Detailed model cards with mAP/precision/recall, per-class breakdowns, PR/F1 curves and confusion matrices (YOLO), qualitative detection showcases, and full training configurations for reproducibility.

Headline numbers:
- 🏆 Best mAP@50: 74.25% (YOLOv11x), 34.92% mAP@50:95, 83.37% precision.
- ⚡ Best efficiency tradeoff: YOLOv26s hits 70.49% mAP@50 at just 22.8 GFLOPs (10.0M params) — within ~4 points of the top YOewer FLOPs (196.0 GFLOPs).

The goal is to make benchmarking and experimenting with agricultural computer vision easier by providing ready-to-use pretrained checkpoints, all trained and evaluated under one shared pipeline (DetectionBench: https://github.com/dronefreak/DetectionBench).
Full credit for the underlying dataset goes to Etienne David, Mario Serouart, Simon Madec, and the Global Wheat Head Detection 2020/2021) — this release is anunofficial, YOLO-ready reformatting of their work, not a new dataset.

If you're working on precision at detection, or just want areproducible detector benchmark, I hope these resources are useful.
