改进YOLO系列：改进YOLOv8，教你YOLOv8如何添加20多种注意力机制，并实验不同位置。

一、注意力机制介绍

注意力机制（Attention Mechanism）是深度学习中一种重要的技术，它可以帮助模型更好地关注输入数据中的关键信息，从而提高模型的性能。注意力机制最早在自然语言处理领域的序列到序列（seq2seq）模型中得到广泛应用，后来逐渐扩展到了计算机视觉、语音识别等多个领域。

注意力机制的基本思想是为输入数据的每个部分分配一个权重，这个权重表示该部分对于当前任务的重要程度。在自然语言处理任务中，这通常意味着对输入句子中的每个单词分配一个权重，而在计算机视觉任务中，这可能意味着为输入图像的每个像素或区域分配一个权重。

二.添加方法

1.GAM注意力

论文原文：https://arxiv.org/pdf/2112.05561v1.pdf

该论文提出了一种全局注意力机制（GAM），可以通过保留空间和通道信息之间的关联来提高模型的性能。GAM能够有效地捕捉不同通道之间的相关性，进而更好地区分不同的目标。
网络结构图：

import torch.nn as nn
import torch
 
class GAM_Attention(nn.Module):
    def __init__(self, in_channels,c2, rate=4):
        super(GAM_Attention, self).__init__()
 
        self.channel_attention = nn.Sequential(
            nn.Linear(in_channels, int(in_channels / rate)),
            nn.ReLU(inplace=True),
            nn.Linear(int(in_channels / rate), in_channels)
        )
 
        self.spatial_attention = nn.Sequential(
            nn.Conv2d(in_channels, int(in_channels / rate), kernel_size=7, padding=3),
            nn.BatchNorm2d(int(in_channels / rate)),
            nn.ReLU(inplace=True),
            nn.Conv2d(int(in_channels / rate), in_channels, kernel_size=7, padding=3),
            nn.BatchNorm2d(in_channels)
        )
 
    def forward(self, x):
        b, c, h, w = x.shape
        x_permute = x.permute(0, 2, 3, 1).view(b, -1, c)
        x_att_permute = self.channel_attention(x_permute).view(b, h, w, c)
        x_channel_att = x_att_permute.permute(0, 3, 1, 2).sigmoid()
        x = x * x_channel_att
        x_spatial_att = self.spatial_attention(x).sigmoid()
        out = x * x_spatial_att
 
        return out
 
if __name__ == '__main__':
    x = torch.randn(1, 64, 20, 20)
    b, c, h, w = x.shape
    net = GAM_Attention(in_channels=c)
    y = net(x)
    print(y.size())

添加方法1

此方法适用于较早版本的yolov8代码，最新的yolov8代码加入方式看方法2

##将以上代码放到ultralytics/nn/modules.py里

在tasks.py里要加入from yltralytics.nn.modules import *

在ultralytics/nn/tasks.py处引用

注册以下代码：

# """**************add Attention***************"""
        elif m in {GAM_Attention}:
            c1, c2 = ch[f], args[0]
            if c2 != nc:  # if not output
                c2 = make_divisible(min(c2, max_channels) * width, 8)
            args = [c1, c2, *args[1:]]

2.骨干中添加

新建yaml文件

添加方法2

1.block代码中加入注意力代码

2.注册及引用GAM注意力代码

ultralytics/nn/modules/init.py文件中

ultralytics/nn/tasks.py文件中

tasks里写入调用方式

        # """**************add Attention***************"""
        elif m in {GAM_Attention}:
            c1, c2 = ch[f], args[0]
            if c2 != nc:  # if not output
                c2 = make_divisible(min(c2, max_channels) * width, 8)
            args = [c1, c2, *args[1:]]

C2f_Bottleneck_ATT代码，添加到common里：

class C2f_Bottleneck_ATT(nn.Module):
    # CSP Bottleneck with 2 convolutions
    def __init__(self, c1, c2, n=1, shortcut=False, use_ATT=0., g=1,
                 e=0.5):  # ch_in, ch_out, number, shortcut, groups, expa
        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_ATT(self.c, self.c, shortcut, g, k=((3, 3), (3, 3)), e=1.0, use_ATT=use_ATT) for _ in range(n))

    def forward(self, x):
        y = list(self.cv1(x).chunk(2, 1))
        y.extend(m(y[-1]) for m in self.m)
        return self.cv2(torch.cat(y, 1))

    def forward_split(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))
class Bottleneck_ATT(nn.Module):
    # Standard bottleneck
    def __init__(self, c1, c2, shortcut=True, g=1, k=(3, 3), e=0.5, use_ATT=0.):  # 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
        # self.ATT = GAM_Attention(c_) #这里可以随意更换注意力机制，使用use_ATT控制
        has_ATT = use_ATT is not None and use_ATT > 0.
        # Squeeze-and-excitation
        if has_ATT:
            # self.ATT = GAM_Attention(c2,c2)
            self.ATT = BiLevelRoutingAttention(c2,c2)
        else:
            self.ATT = None
    def forward(self, x):
        if self.ATT is not None:
            out = x + self.ATT(self.cv2(self.cv1(x))) if self.add else self.ATT(self.cv2(self.cv1(x)))
        else:
            out = x + self.cv2(self.cv1(x)) if self.add else self.cv2(self.cv1(x))
        return out

添加到tasks里：首先引用

其次注册：

# """**************add Attention***************"""
        elif m in {GAM_Attention, SpectralAttention, SoftThresholdAttentionResidual, MultiSpectralAttentionLayer,
                   CAMConv, CAConv, CBAMConv}:
            c1, c2 = ch[f], args[0]
            if c2 != nc:  # if not output
                c2 = make_divisible(min(c2, max_channels) * width, 8)
            args = [c1, c2, *args[1:]]
