description The damage caused by pests to crops results in reduced crop yield and compromised quality. Accurate and timely pest detection plays a crucial role in helping farmers to defend against and control pests. In this paper, a novel crop pest detection model named YOLOv5s-pest is proposed. Firstly, we design a hybrid spatial pyramid pooling fast (HSPPF) module, which enhances the model’s capability to capture multi-scale receptive field information. Secondly, we design a new convolutional block attention module (NCBAM) that highlights key features, suppresses redundant features, and improves detection precision. Thirdly, the recursive gated convolution (<inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><msup><mrow><mi>g</mi></mrow><mrow><mn>3</mn></mrow></msup><mi>C</mi><mi>o</mi><mi>n</mi><mi>v</mi></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula>) is introduced into the neck, which extends the potential of self-attention mechanism to explore feature representation to arbitrary-order space, enhances model capacity and detection capability. Finally, we replace the non-maximum suppression (NMS) in the post-processing part with Soft-NMS, which improves the missed problem of detection in crowded and dense scenes. The experimental results show that the mAP@0.5 (mean average precision at intersection over union (IoU) threshold of 0.5) of YOLOv5s-pest achieves 92.5% and the mAP@0.5:0.95 (mean average precision from IoU 0.5 to 0.95) achieves 72.6% on the IP16. Furthermore, we also validate our proposed method on other datasets, and the outcomes indicate that YOLOv5s-pest is also effective in other detection tasks.
