Table 4 Ablation study of the proposed S3ET-Net model, analyzing the impact of each module (GhostNet, S3O, EfficientNet) on performance metrics. The full configuration outperforms all ablated versions across accuracy, precision, recall, specificity, and F1-score, confirming the critical role of each component.
