Tea bud localization detection not only ensures tea quality, improves picking efficiency, and advances intelligent harvesting, but also fosters tea industry upgrades and enhances economic benefits. To solve the problem of the high computational complexity of deep learning detection models, we developed the Tea Bud DSCF-YOLOv8n (TBF-YOLOv8n)lightweight detection model. Improvement of the Cross Stage Partial Bottleneck Module with Two Convolutions(C2f) module via efficient Distributed Shift Convolution (DSConv) yields the C2f module with DSConv(DSCf)module, which reduces the model's size.
