Safety monitoring in container hoisting operations within rail-road intermodal logistics parks is a critical task in industrial safety management. Such scenarios are characterized by complex environments, large variations in target scales, deformable object shapes, and frequent occlusions, which pose significant challenges to visual perception systems. Conventional single-task models suffer from inherent limitations in handling low recall rates for distant small targets and insufficient adaptability to geometric deformations, making them inadequate for high-precision, real-time safety warning applications. To address these challenges, this study proposes a unified visual analysis framework that integrates semantic segmentation and object detection to enhance the recognition performance of small and deformable targets in complex operational environments, enabling real-time perception and safety warning of key objects and hazardous regions within container yards. Specifically, we introduce FSD-YOLO, a fusion-based architecture composed of the following key components. First, a SegFormer-based semantic segmentation module is employed to achieve pixel-level delineation of different operational regions. Second, an improved object detection network is developed based on the YOLOv8n architecture, incorporating: (1) the integration of C2f modules in the shallow layers of the backbone to enhance high-resolution feature extraction; (2) the embedding of C2fDCN modules within the detection head to improve modeling capability for deformable objects via deformable convolution; (3) the adoption of CARAFE upsampling operators to optimize multi-scale feature fusion; and (4) a dynamic loss-weighting strategy for small objects, where loss weights are adaptively adjusted according to target area to increase training emphasis on small-scale targets. Finally, a decision-level fusion strategy is applied to combine segmentation and detection outputs, enabling real-time safety judgment based on semantic rules. Experimental results on a self-constructed container yard dataset demonstrate that the proposed detection model achieves an mAP50-95 of 0.6433 and an mAP50 of 0.9565, significantly outperforming the baseline YOLOv8n model (mAP50-95: 0.5394, mAP50: 0.8435), thereby validating the effectiveness of the proposed framework.

Plywood has emerged as a key sustainable material in modern building. Yet, ensuring its consistent performance requires rigorous quality control of the rotary-cut veneers used in its manufacture. This task is complicated by the high-speed nature of industrial conveyors, where motion blur and the complex, varying textures of eucalyptus wood drastically reduce the effectiveness of real-time surface inspection. This study proposes an intelligent, real-time defect detection system specifically optimized for the diverse defect morphology of eucalyptus veneers. A lightweight model, YOLOv11-DMS-Veneers, was developed by integrating MobileNetV4 as the backbone, a Dynamic Head for multi-scale feature extraction, and a Shape-IoU loss function to precisely localize irregular defects like cracks and knots. Additionally, an ERD video enhancement framework (combining ESRGAN, RIFE, and DnCNN) was implemented to mitigate motion blur in dynamic environments. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed model achieves a mean Average Precision (mAP@50) of 96.0% and a Precision of 95.7% with a low computational cost of only 4.5 GFlops, significantly outperforming traditional algorithms. Notably, the detection precision for challenging linear cracks reached 93.9%. In dynamic tests at conveyor speeds up to 24 m/min, the video enhancement strategy increased the average detection confidence by 0.288, maintaining a maximum confidence of 0.890. This technology offers a robust solution for the automated quality control of eucalyptus veneers, facilitating the production of high-performance plywood and advancing the efficient application of engineered wood in the building industry.
