YOLOv8优化:注意力系列篇 | 高斯上下文变换器GCT,性能优于ECA、SE等注意力-灵析社区

神机妙算

🚀🚀🚀本文改进:高斯上下文变换器GCT,引入到YOLOv8,多种实现方式

🚀🚀🚀GCT在不同检测领域中应用广泛

🚀🚀🚀YOLOv8改进专栏:http://t.csdnimg.cn/hGhVK



1.GCT介绍



浙江大学等机构发布的一篇收录于CVPR2021的文章,提出了一种新的通道注意力结构,在几乎不引入参数的前提下优于大多SOTA通道注意力模型,如SE、ECA等。这篇文章虽然叫Gaussian Context Transformer,但是和Transformer并无太多联系,这里可以理解为高斯上下文变换器。


        LCT(linear context transform)观察所得,如下图所示,SE倾向于学习一种负相关,即全局上下文偏离均值越多,得到的注意力激活值就越小。为了更加精准地学习这种相关性,LCT使用一个逐通道地变换来替代SE中的两个全连接层。然而,实验表明,LCT学得的这种负相关质量并不是很高,下图中右侧可以看出,LCT的注意力激活值波动是很大的。



        在本文中,我们假设这种关系是预先确定的。基于这个假设,我们提出了一个简单但极其有效的通道注意力块,称为高斯上下文Transformer (GCT),它使用满足预设关系的高斯函数实现上下文特征激励。



实验结果

在ImageNet 和 MS COCO 基准测试的大量实验表明,我们的 GCT 导致各种深度 CNN 和检测器的持续改进。与一系列最先进的通道注意力块(例如 SE 和 ECA)相比,我们的 GCT 在有效性和效率方面更为出色。



2.GCT加入YOLOv8

2.1加入ultralytics/nn/attention/attention.py

2.2 修改tasks.py

首先GCTattention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,GCTattention):
            c1, c2 = ch[f], args[0]

2.3 yaml实现

2.3.1 yolov8_GCTattention.yaml

加入backbone SPPF后
