摘要 Forests play a crucial role in ecosystems. This study focused on five common tree species in Northeast China: pine, elm, poplar, cedar, and ash. An improved YOLOv8n-based network structure was constructed, and a UAV image dataset was developed for analysis. The results showed that the improved YOLOv8 algorithm achieved a 4.9% increase in accuracy compared with the original version, and the average precision increased from 88.0% (original YOLOv8n) to 92.1%.
