With the increasing deployment of UAVs, accurate and efficient detection is critical for preventing UAV intrusions and ensuring airspace security. However, existing detection algorithms often struggle with large target size variations and limited computational resources. Lightweight detection algorithms are crucial for real-time, efficient UAV detection. This paper presents "NUAV-YOLO," a lightweight object detection algorithm tailored for UAV detection. To address the challenge of scale variation caused by UAVs' differing flight altitudes and distances, NUAV-YOLO employs multi-scale feature fusion. Building on YOLOv8, the algorithm introduces a self-attention-based segmentation detection head to enhance target localization and classification accuracy. Additionally, knowledge distillation is applied to further optimize YOLOv8's performance. Experimental results demonstrate that NUAV-YOLO outperforms existing methods in both detection accuracy and operational efficiency.
