1.Yolov8简介

        Ultralytics YOLOv8 是由 Ultralytics 开发的一个前沿的 SOTA 模型。它在以前成功的 YOLO 版本基础上,引入了新的功能和改进,进一步提升了其性能和灵活性。YOLOv8 基于快速、准确和易于使用的设计理念,使其成为广泛的目标检测、图像分割和图像分类任务的绝佳选择。

1.1 Yolov8优化点:

      将 YOLOv5 的C3结构换成了梯度流更丰富的 C2f结构,并对不同尺度模型调整了不同的通道数

C3模块的结构图,然后再对比与C2f的具体的区别。针对C3模块,其主要是借助CSPNet提取分流的思想,同时结合残差结构的思想,设计了C3 Block,CSP主分支梯度模块为BottleNeck模块。同时堆叠的个数由参数n来进行控制,也就是说不同规模的模型,n的值是有变化的。

C3模块的Pytorch的实现如下:

class C3(nn.Module):
    # CSP Bottleneck with 3 convolutions  
    def __init__(self, c1, c2, n=1, shortcut=True, g=1, e=0.5):  # ch_in, ch_out, number, shortcut, groups, expansion  
        super().__init__()  
        c_ = int(c2 * e)  # hidden channels  
        self.cv1 = Conv(c1, c_, 1, 1)  
        self.cv2 = Conv(c1, c_, 1, 1)  
        self.cv3 = Conv(2 * c_, c2, 1)  # optional act=FReLU(c2)  
        self.m = nn.Sequential(*(Bottleneck(c_, c_, shortcut, g, e=1.0) for _ in range(n)))  
    def forward(self, x):  
        return self.cv3(torch.cat((self.m(self.cv1(x)), self.cv2(x)), 1))  

C2f模块的结构图如下:

       C2f模块就是参考了C3模块以及ELAN的思想进行的设计,让YOLOv8可以在保证轻量化的同时获得更加丰富的梯度流信息。

class C2f(nn.Module):
    # CSP Bottleneck with 2 convolutions  
    def __init__(self, c1, c2, n=1, shortcut=False, g=1, e=0.5):  # ch_in, ch_out, number, shortcut, groups, expansion  
        super().__init__()  
        self.c = int(c2 * e)  # hidden channels  
        self.cv1 = Conv(c1, 2 * self.c, 1, 1)  
        self.cv2 = Conv((2 + n) * self.c, c2, 1)  # optional act=FReLU(c2)  
        self.m = nn.ModuleList(Bottleneck(self.c, self.c, shortcut, g, k=((3, 3), (3, 3)), e=1.0) for _ in range(n))  
    def forward(self, x):  
        y = list(self.cv1(x).split((self.c, self.c), 1))  
        y.extend(m(y[-1]) for m in self.m)  
        return self.cv2(torch.cat(y, 1)) 

 2.涨点技巧:Yolov5加入C2F提升小目标检测精度

2.1 Yolov5网络结构图

2.2 加入C2f代码修改位置

1)将如下代码添加到common.py中:

class v8_C2fBottleneck(nn.Module):
    # Standard bottleneck
    def __init__(self, c1, c2, shortcut=True, g=1, k=(3, 3), e=0.5):  # ch_in, ch_out, shortcut, groups, kernels, expand
        super().__init__()
        c_ = int(c2 * e)  # hidden channels
        self.cv1 = Conv(c1, c_, k[0], 1)
        self.cv2 = Conv(c_, c2, k[1], 1, g=g)
        self.add = shortcut and c1 == c2
    def forward(self, x):
        return x + self.cv2(self.cv1(x)) if self.add else self.cv2(self.cv1(x))
class C2f(nn.Module):
    # CSP Bottleneck with 2 convolutions
    def __init__(self, c1, c2, n=1, shortcut=False, g=1, e=0.5):  # ch_in, ch_out, number, shortcut, groups, expansion
        super().__init__()
        self.c = int(c2 * e)  # hidden channels
        self.cv1 = Conv(c1, 2 * self.c, 1, 1)
        self.cv2 = Conv((2 + n) * self.c, c2, 1)  # optional act=FReLU(c2)
        self.m = nn.ModuleList(v8_C2fBottleneck(self.c, self.c, shortcut, g, k=((3, 3), (3, 3)), e=1.0) for _ in range(n))
    def forward(self, x):
        y = list(self.cv1(x).split((self.c, self.c), 1))
        y.extend(m(y[-1]) for m in self.m)
        return self.cv2(torch.cat(y, 1))

 2)在yolo.py中添加C2f(PS:快速搜索C3对应位置)
