1.NAM注意力介绍

论文： https://arxiv.org/pdf/2111.12419.pdf

摘要：本文提出一种基于归一化的注意力模块（NAM），可以降低不太显著的特征的权重，这种方式在注意力模块上应用了稀疏的权重惩罚，这使得这些权重在计算上更加高效，同时能够保持同样的性能。文章在ResNet和MobileNet上和其他的注意力方式进行了对比，提出的NAM的方法可以达到更高的准确率。

NAM作为一种高效且轻量级的注意力机制。采用了CBAM的模块集成并重新设计了通道和空间注意子模块。然后，在每个网络块的末尾嵌入一个 NAM 模块。对于残差网络，它嵌入在残差结构的末尾。对于通道注意力子模块，我们使用批量归一化（BN）中的缩放因子

2.NAM加入YOLOv8

2.1加入ultralytics/nn/attention/attention.py

###################### PolarizedSelfAttention     ####     start    ###############################
import torch
import torch.nn as nn
from torch.nn import functional as F
 
 
class Channel_Att(nn.Module):
    def __init__(self, channels, t=16):
        super(Channel_Att, self).__init__()
        self.channels = channels
 
        self.bn2 = nn.BatchNorm2d(self.channels, affine=True)
 
    def forward(self, x):
        residual = x
 
        x = self.bn2(x)
        weight_bn = self.bn2.weight.data.abs() / torch.sum(self.bn2.weight.data.abs())
        x = x.permute(0, 2, 3, 1).contiguous()
        x = torch.mul(weight_bn, x)
        x = x.permute(0, 3, 1, 2).contiguous()
 
        x = torch.sigmoid(x) * residual  #
 
        return x
 
 
class NAMAttention(nn.Module):
    def __init__(self, channels, shape, out_channels=None, no_spatial=True):
        super(NAMAttention, self).__init__()
        self.Channel_Att = Channel_Att(channels)
 
    def forward(self, x):
        x_out1 = self.Channel_Att(x)
 
        return x_out1
###################### PolarizedSelfAttention    ####     end    ###############################

2.2 修改tasks.py

首先NAMAttention进行注册

from ultralytics.nn.attention.attention import *
函数def parse_model(d, ch, verbose=True): # model_dict, input_channels(3)进行修改

        if m in (Classify, Conv, ConvTranspose, GhostConv, Bottleneck, GhostBottleneck, SPP, SPPF, DWConv, Focus,
                 BottleneckCSP, C1, C2, C2f, C3, C3TR, C3Ghost, nn.ConvTranspose2d, DWConvTranspose2d, C3x, RepC3,
                 NAMAttention):
            c1, c2 = ch[f], args[0]

2.3 yaml实现
