Artificial Intelligence
Ecology

Background:

Wildlife protection is crucial for ecological balance, but traditional monitoring methods are labor-intensive.
Deep learning-based wildlife detection offers efficiency but struggles with complex outdoor conditions like poor lighting and occlusion.
Existing methods often yield unsatisfactory results due to environmental challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop an optimized deep learning model for accurate wildlife detection in challenging environments.
To improve upon the YOLOv7 architecture for enhanced wildlife monitoring and protection applications.
To address limitations of current methods in handling complex outdoor scenarios.

Main Methods:

Proposed TMS-YOLO (Takin, Monkey, and Snow Leopard-You Only Look Once), a modified YOLOv7 architecture.
Introduced Optimized Efficient Layer Aggregation Networks (O-ELAN) for feature extraction, preserving background and animal details.
Integrated Convolutional Block Attention Module (CBAM) to suppress background noise and enhance animal features.
Utilized Optimized Spatial Pyramid Pooling Combined with Cross Stage Partial Channel (O-SPPCSPC) for efficient feature fusion and overfitting prevention.

Main Results:

TMS-YOLO demonstrated superior performance compared to YOLOv7 on both a self-built and a Turkish wildlife dataset.
Mean Average Precision (mAP) for TMS-YOLO reached 93.4% and 95% on the respective datasets, outperforming YOLOv7's 90.5% and 94.6%.
The model effectively improved detection accuracy in complex and adverse environmental conditions.

Conclusions:

TMS-YOLO offers a more accurate and robust solution for wildlife detection compared to standard YOLOv7.
The optimized modules (O-ELAN, CBAM, O-SPPCSPC) significantly enhance the model's suitability for wildlife monitoring.
This advancement holds significant value for wildlife conservation efforts through improved automated detection.
