Accurate object localization at reduced annotation/computational cost?
#TriLite achieves this by pairing a pre-trained backbone, with our #TriHead component which separates ambiguous, foreground and background features.The main highlights of #TriLite include:
• State-of-the-art performance
• < 1M trainable parameters
• single-stage trainingWe will be glad to get in touch at #CVPR2026 to discuss further.
We thank #DEFRA for supporting this research

Concern after swan deaths at Fendrod Lake amid avian flu fears
The authority said it has already collected a number of dead birds from the site and will continue to monitor the situation closely.
Residents are being urged not to approach or touch any dead swans they may see. Instead, they should report them directly to Defra via the government’s online service: Report dead wild birds.
🐦 How to report bird flu concerns
Do not touch dead birds
Avian flu can spread through contact — always avoid handling carcasses.Report sightings
Use the official Defra service to report dead swans, geese, or other wild birds: gov.uk/guidance/report-dead-wild-birds.Stay vigilant
Watch for unusual bird deaths in your area and alert authorities promptly.Follow council updates
Local councils and Natural Resources Wales provide guidance and issue alerts when risks increase.Protect domestic flocks
Keep poultry and pet birds away from wild waterfowl and follow biosecurity advice.A council spokesperson said:
“We have had reports in recent days of a number of deaths of swans at Fendrod Lake, potentially due to avian flu. If you see a dead swan, please don’t approach or touch it. Instead report it to Defra. We have collected a number of dead swans and will continue to monitor the issue.”
The warning comes after recent confirmed cases of bird flu elsewhere in South West Wales. Earlier this month, Carmarthenshire Council confirmed an outbreak in the Pontyberem area, while Pembrokeshire Council officers visited homes near Milford Haven following a separate case.
Natural Resources Wales and local councils continue to advise the public to remain vigilant, avoid contact with sick or dead birds, and follow official guidance to reduce the risk of spreading the disease.
