Abstract:
Collision accidents involving heavy construction machinery remain a leading cause of injuries in the building industry, making real-time detection of site equipment and workers imperative. To address the challenges of multi-scale object detection in complex construction environments, this study proposes MSP-YOLO, an improved object detection framework based on YOLOv12n. The proposed model introduces a small object enhancement pyramid (SOEP), which incorporates high-resolution features from shallow layers into the feature pyramid through SPDConv and CSP_Omnikernel, thereby enhancing fine-grained representation and alleviating the degradation of small targets. A lightweight multi-axis gated coordinate attention (MGCA) mechanism is embedded within the neck to refine spatial feature encoding along height, width, and channel dimensions, facilitating robust localization under occlusion and background clutter. Additionally, a dynamic selective weighted fusion (DSWFusion) module connects the backbone and neck via hierarchical skip connections and integrates a pixel-augmented convolution and attention mechanism (PACAM) with dynamic weighting, promoting effective multi-scale feature fusion. These architectural components jointly improve the detection of both small and large objects while maintaining real-time performance. Experimental results on our self-built construction site dataset demonstrate that MSP-YOLO achieves 64.2% AP and 82.5% AP50 on the test set, surpassing YOLOv12n by 4.5 and 3.7%, respectively. It also shows notable improvements in detecting small objects (APs: +5.3%) and medium-sized objects (APm: +8.0%). Furthermore, MSP-YOLO delivers real-time performance with 304.3 FPS on an NVIDIA RTX 4090, validating the effectiveness of our model.
