1.计算机视觉中的注意力机制

一般来说,注意力机制通常被分为以下基本四大类:

通道注意力 Channel Attention

空间注意力机制 Spatial Attention

时间注意力机制 Temporal Attention

分支注意力机制 Branch Attention

1.1.CBAM:通道注意力和空间注意力的集成者

轻量级的卷积注意力模块,它结合了通道和空间的注意力机制模块

论文题目:《CBAM: Convolutional Block Attention Module》
论文地址:  https://arxiv.org/pdf/1807.06521.pdf

涨点技巧:注意力机制---Yolov8引入CBAM、GAM、Resnet_CBAM

上图可以看到,CBAM包含CAM(Channel Attention Module)和SAM(Spartial Attention Module)两个子模块,分别进行通道和空间上的Attention。这样不只能够节约参数和计算力,并且保证了其能够做为即插即用的模块集成到现有的网络架构中去。

1.2 GAM:Global Attention Mechanism

超越CBAM,全新注意力GAM:不计成本提高精度!
论文题目:Global Attention Mechanism: Retain Information to Enhance Channel-Spatial Interactions
论文地址:https://paperswithcode.com/paper/global-attention-mechanism-retain-information

从整体上可以看出,GAM和CBAM注意力机制还是比较相似的,同样是使用了通道注意力机制和空间注意力机制。但是不同的是对通道注意力和空间注意力的处理。

1.3 ResBlock_CBAM

CBAM结构其实就是将通道注意力信息核空间注意力信息在一个block结构中进行运用。

在resnet中实现cbam:即在原始block和残差结构连接前,依次通过channel attention和spatial attention即可。

        self.act = nn.Sigmoid()
    def forward(self, x):

    # RESHAPE----->transpose------->Flatten
    B, C, H, W = x.size()
    out = x.view(B, groups, C // groups, H, W).permute(0, 2, 1, 3, 4).contiguous()
    out = out.view(B, C, H, W)
    return out

        b, c, h, w = x.shape
        x_permute = x.permute(0, 2, 3, 1).view(b, -1, c)
        x_att_permute = self.channel_attention(x_permute).view(b, h, w, c)
        x_channel_att = x_att_permute.permute(0, 3, 1, 2)
        # x_channel_att=channel_shuffle(x_channel_att,4) #last shuffle
        x = x * x_channel_att
        x_spatial_att = self.spatial_attention(x).sigmoid()
        x_spatial_att = channel_shuffle(x_spatial_att, 4)  # last shuffle
