To address the complex challenge of recognizing mixed handwritten text in practical scenarios such as examination papers and to overcome the limitations of existing methods that typically focus on a single category, this paper proposes MHTR, a Multimodal Handwritten Text Adaptive Recognition algorithm. The framework comprises two key components, a Handwritten Character Classification Module and a Handwritten Text Adaptive Recognition Module, which work in conjunction. The classification module performs fine-grained analysis of the input image, identifying different types of handwritten content such as Chinese characters, digits, and mathematical formula. Based on these results, the recognition module dynamically selects specialized sub-networks tailored to each category, thereby enhancing recognition accuracy. To further reduce errors caused by similar character shapes and diverse handwriting styles, a Context-aware Recognition Optimization Module is introduced. This module captures local semantic and structural information, improving the model’s understanding of character sequences and boosting recognition performance. Recognizing the limitations of existing public handwriting datasets, particularly their lack of diversity in character categories and writing styles, this study constructs a heterogeneous, integrated handwritten text dataset. The dataset combines samples from multiple sources, including Chinese characters, numerals, and mathematical symbols, and features high structural complexity and stylistic variation to better reflect real-world application needs. Experimental results show that MHTR achieves a recognition accuracy of 86.63% on the constructed dataset, significantly outperforming existing methods. Furthermore, the context-aware optimization module demonstrates strong adaptive correction capabilities in various misrecognition scenarios, confirming the effectiveness and practicality of the proposed approach for complex, multi-category handwritten text recognition tasks.

Pine Wilt Disease (PWD) is a highly infectious and lethal disease that severely threatens global pine forest ecosystems and forestry economies. Early and accurate detection of infected trees is crucial to prevent large-scale outbreaks and support timely forest management. However, existing remote sensing-based detection models often struggle with performance degradation in complex environments, as well as a trade-off between detection accuracy and real-time efficiency. To address these challenges, we propose an improved object detection model, YOLOv8-MFD, designed for accurate and efficient detection of PWD-infected trees from UAV imagery. The model incorporates a MobileViT-based backbone that fuses convolutional neural networks with Transformer-based global modeling to enhance feature representation under complex forest backgrounds. To further improve robustness and precision, we integrate a Focal Modulation mechanism to suppress environmental interference and adopt a Dynamic Head to strengthen multi-scale object perception and adaptive feature fusion. Experimental results on a UAV-based forest dataset demonstrate that YOLOv8-MFD achieves a precision of 92.5%, a recall of 84.7%, an F1-score of 88.4%, and a mAP@0.5 of 88.2%. Compared to baseline models such as YOLOv8 and YOLOv10, our method achieves higher accuracy while maintaining acceptable computational cost (11.8 GFLOPs) and a compact model size (10.2 MB). Its inference speed is moderate and still suitable for real-time deployment. Overall, the proposed method offers a reliable solution for early-stage PWD monitoring across large forested areas, enabling more timely disease intervention and resource protection. Furthermore, its generalizable architecture holds promise for broader applications in forest health monitoring and agricultural disease detection.
