The application of computer vision in fish identification facilitates researchers and managers to better comprehend and safeguard the aquatic ecological environment. Numerous researchers have harnessed deep learning methodologies for studying fish species identification. Nonetheless, this endeavor still encounters challenges such as high computational costs, a substantial number of parameters, and limited practicality. To address these issues, we propose a lightweight network architecture incorporating deformable convolutions, termed DeformableFishNet. Within DeformableFishNet, an efficient global coordinate attention module (EGCA) is introduced alongside a deformable convolution network (EDCN/EC2f), which is grounded in EGCA, to tackle the deformation of fish bodies induced by swimming motions. Additionally, an EC2f-based feature pyramid network (EDBFPN) and an efficient multi-scale decoupling head (EMSD Head) are proposed to extract multi-scale fish features within a lightweight framework. DeformableFishNet was deployed on our freshwater fish dataset, with experimental outcomes illustrating its efficacy, achieving a mean average precision (mAP) of 96.3%. The model comprises 1.7 million parameters and entails 4.7 billion floating-point operations (FLOPs). Furthermore, we validated DeformableFishNet on three public underwater datasets, yielding respective mAPs of 98%, 99.4%, and 83.6%. The experiments show that DeformableFishNet is suitable for underwater identification of various scenes. |
