In the field of video quality assessment for object recognition tasks, accurately predicting the impact of different quality factors on recognition algorithms remains a significant challenge. Our study introduces a novel evaluation framework designed to address this gap by focussing on machine vision rather than human perceptual quality metrics. We used advanced machine learning models and custom Video Quality Indicators to enhance the predictive accuracy of object recognition performance under various conditions. Our results indicate a model performance, achieving a mean square error (MSE) of 672.4 and a correlation coefficient of 0.77, which underscores the effectiveness of our approach in real-world scenarios. These findings highlight not only the robustness of our methodology but also its potential applicability in critical areas such as surveillance and telemedicine. Full article

The cost-effectiveness, compact size, and inherent flexibility of UAV technology have garnered significant attention. Utilizing sensors, UAVs capture ground-based targets, offering a novel perspective for aerial target detection and data collection. However, traditional UAV aerial image recognition techniques suffer from various drawbacks, including limited payload capacity, resulting in insufficient computing power, low recognition accuracy due to small target sizes in images, and missed detections caused by dense target arrangements. To address these challenges, this study proposes a lightweight UAV image target detection method based on YOLOv8, named Aero-YOLO. The specific approach involves replacing the original Conv module with GSConv and substituting the C2f module with C3 to reduce model parameters, extend the receptive field, and enhance computational efficiency. Furthermore, the introduction of the CoordAtt and shuffle attention mechanisms enhances feature extraction, which is particularly beneficial for detecting small vehicles from a UAV perspective. Lastly, three new parameter specifications for YOLOv8 are proposed to meet the requirements of different application scenarios. Experimental evaluations were conducted on the UAV-ROD and VisDrone2019 datasets. The results demonstrate that the algorithm proposed in this study improves the accuracy and speed of vehicle and pedestrian detection, exhibiting robust performance across various angles, heights, and imaging conditions.
