contents Underwater object detection constitutes a pivotal endeavor within the realms of marine surveillance and autonomous underwater systems; however, it presents significant challenges due to pronounced visual impairments arising from phenomena such as light absorption, scattering, and diminished contrast. In response to these formidable challenges, this manuscript introduces a streamlined yet robust framework for underwater object detection, grounded in the YOLOv10 architecture. The proposed method integrates a Multi-Stage Adaptive Enhancement module to improve image quality, a Dual-Pooling Sequential Attention (DPSA) mechanism embedded into the backbone to strengthen multi-scale feature representation, and a Focal Generalized IoU Objectness (FGIoU) loss to jointly improve localization accuracy and objectness prediction under class imbalance. Comprehensive experimental evaluations conducted on the RUOD and DUO benchmark datasets substantiate that the proposed DPSA_FGIoU_YOLOv10n attains exceptional performance, achieving mean Average Precision (mAP) scores of 88.9% and 88.0% at IoU threshold 0.5, respectively. In comparison to the baseline YOLOv10n, this represents enhancements of 6.7% for RUOD and 6.2% for DUO, all while preserving a compact model architecture comprising merely 2.8M parameters. These findings validate that the proposed framework establishes an efficacious equilibrium among accuracy, robustness, and real-time operational efficiency, making it suitable for deployment in resource-constrained underwater settings.
