YOLOV5引入SE注意力机制以及精度提升问题

1. 如何增加SE注意力机制

• 在model/common.py中添加SE结构

class SE(nn.Module):
    def __init__(self, c1, c2, r=16):
        super(SE, self).__init__()
        self.avgpool = nn.AdaptiveAvgPool2d(1)
        self.l1 = nn.Linear(c1, c1 // r, bias=False)
        self.relu = nn.ReLU(inplace=True)
        self.l2 = nn.Linear(c1 // r, c1, bias=False)
        self.sig = nn.Sigmoid()
    def forward(self, x):
        print(x.size())
        b, c, _, _ = x.size()
        y = self.avgpool(x).view(b, c)
        y = self.l1(y)
        y = self.relu(y)
        y = self.l2(y)
        y = self.sig(y)
        y = y.view(b, c, 1, 1)
        return x * y.expand_as(x)

• 以直接修改yolov5s.yaml 为例讲两种思路

  思路1：直接放在backbone末尾

  backbone:
    # [from, number, module, args]
    [[-1, 1, Conv, [64, 6, 2, 2]],  # 0-P1/2
     [-1, 1, Conv, [128, 3, 2]],  # 1-P2/4
     [-1, 3, C3, [128]],
     [-1, 1, Conv, [256, 3, 2]],  # 3-P3/8
     [-1, 6, C3, [256]],
     [-1, 1, Conv, [512, 3, 2]],  # 5-P4/16
     [-1, 9, C3, [512]], # 6
     [-1, 1, Conv, [1024, 3, 2]],  # 7-P5/32
     [-1, 3, C3, [1024]],
     [-1, 1, SPPF, [1024, 5]],  # 9
      [-1, 1, SE, [1024，2]], 
    ]
  

  思路2：放在SPPF前

  backbone:
    # [from, number, module, args]
    [[-1, 1, Conv, [64, 6, 2, 2]],  # 0-P1/2
     [-1, 1, Conv, [128, 3, 2]],  # 1-P2/4
     [-1, 3, C3, [128]],
     [-1, 1, Conv, [256, 3, 2]],  # 3-P3/8
     [-1, 6, C3, [256]],
     [-1, 1, Conv, [512, 3, 2]],  # 5-P4/16
     [-1, 9, C3, [512]], # 6
     [-1, 1, Conv, [1024, 3, 2]],  # 7-P5/32
     [-1, 3, C3, [1024]],
     [-1, 1, SE, [1024，2]], 
     [-1, 1, SPPF, [1024, 5]],  # 10
    ]
  

  (以上思路2选1)

  重要！：添加完SE之后，相应的head层（超过10的）都需要将层数+1

  head修改为：

  head:
    [[-1, 1, Conv, [512, 1, 1]],
     [-1, 1, nn.Upsample, [None, 2, 'nearest']],
     [[-1, 6], 1, Concat, [1]],  # cat backbone P4
     [-1, 3, C3, [512, False]],  # 13
  
     [-1, 1, Conv, [256, 1, 1]],
     [-1, 1, nn.Upsample, [None, 2, 'nearest']],
     [[-1, 4], 1, Concat, [1]],  # cat backbone P3
     [-1, 3, C3, [256, False]],  # 17 (P3/8-small)
  
     [-1, 1, Conv, [256, 3, 2]],
     [[-1, 15], 1, Concat, [1]],  # cat head P4  +!
     [-1, 3, C3, [512, False]],  # 20 (P4/16-medium)
  
     [-1, 1, Conv, [512, 3, 2]],
     [[-1, 11], 1, Concat, [1]],  # cat head P5    +1
     [-1, 3, C3, [1024, False]],  # 23 (P5/32-large)
  
     [[18, 21, 24], 1, Detect, [nc, anchors]],  # Detect(P3, P4, P5)   +1
    ]
  

• 修改yolo.py ，在def parse_model(d, ch): 下添加SE模块判断语句：

elif m is SE:
            c1 = ch[f]
            c2 = args[0]
            if c2 !=no:
                c2 = make_divisible(c2 * gw, 8)
            args = [c1, args[1]]

即完整yolo.py:

2. 训练

在colab中，以coco128为数据集，官方的yolov5s.pt作为预训练模型，训练400个epochs。

!python train.py --img 640 --batch 16 --epochs 400 --data coco128.yaml --weights yolov5s.pt --cache

3. 精度

• 当SE添加在backbone最后一层时
  

mAP50: 87.4

mAP50-95: 65.9

• 当SE添加在backbone倒数第二层时
  

mAP50: 80.1

mAP50-95: 60.7

整体上看，SE的添加可以显著提升mAP，而添加在backbone最后一层时最棒。
