• 💡统一使用 YOLOv7 代码框架，结合不同模块来构建不同的YOLO目标检测模型。
• 🌟本项目包含大量的改进方式,降低改进难度,改进点包含【Backbone特征主干】、【Neck特征融合】、【Head检测头】、【注意力机制】、【IoU损失函数】、【NMS】、【Loss计算方式】、【自注意力机制】、【数据增强部分】、【标签分配策略】、【激活函数】等各个部分

一、理论部分

这个模块比较简单，就直接上代码了.

C2f模块来自YOLOv8系列，本质上改进借鉴了YOLOv7核心模块的思想，所以这个严格来说不算改进。

YOLOv5作者 和 YOLOv8作者 是用一个作者，所以没必要基于YOLOv5加这个了…作者本身就是基于 YOLOv5 改进得到的 YOLOv8

就简单试一下效果吧

这个 C2f 模块中存在 Split 等操作对特定硬件部署没有之前那么友好

图中C2f模块就是ultralytics改进的模块

C2f模块结合了C3模块以及ELAN模块的思想设计

二、将其应用到YOLOv7中

核心代码

./models/common.py文件增加以下模块

class Bottlenecks(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(Bottlenecks(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))

其他配置

找到./models/yolo.py文件下里的parse_model函数，将类名加入进去

for i, (f, n, m, args) in enumerate(d[‘backbone’] + d[‘head’]):`内部
对应位置 下方只需要增加 代码

参考代码

        elif m in [C2f]:
            c1, c2 = ch[f], args[0]
            if c2 != no:  # if not output
                c2 = make_divisible(c2 * gw, 8)
            args = [c1, c2]
            if m in [C2f]:
                args.insert(2, n)  # number of repeats
                n = 1
