CSW-YOLO: A traffic sign small target detection algorithm based on YOLOv8. by Qian Shen, Yi Li, YuXiang Zhang, Lei Zhang, ShiHao Liu, Jinhua Wu

“…First, the bottleneck of the C2f module in the original yolov8 network is replaced with the residual Faster-Block module in FasterNet, and then the new channel mixer convolution GLU (CGLU) in TransNeXt is combined with it to construct the C2f-faster-CGLU module, reducing the number of model parameters and computational load; Secondly, the SPPF module is combined with the large separable kernel attention (LSKA) to construct the SPPF-LSKA module, which greatly enhances the feature extraction ability of the model; Then, by adding a small target detection layer, the accuracy of small target detection such as traffic signs is greatly improved; Finally, the Inner-IoU and MPDIoU loss functions are integrated to construct WISE-Inner-MPDIoU, which replaces the original CIoU loss function, thereby improving the calculation accuracy. …”

YOLOv8n-DDSW: an efficient fish target detection network for dense underwater scenes by Jinwang Yi, Wei Han, Fangfei Lai

“…Therefore, the YOLOv8n-DDSW fish target detection algorithm was proposed in this article to resolve the detection difficulties resulting from fish occlusion, deformation and detail loss in complex intensive aquaculture scenarios. (1) The C2f-deformable convolutional network (DCN) module is proposed to take the place of the C2f module in the YOLOv8n backbone to raise the detection accuracy of irregular fish targets. (2) The dual-pooling squeeze-and-excitation (DPSE) attention mechanism is put forward and integrated into the YOLOv8n neck network to reinforce the features of the visible parts of the occluded fish target. (3) Small detection is introduced to make the network more capable of sensing small targets and improving recall. (4) Wise intersection over union (IOU) rather than the original loss function is used for improving the bounding box regression performance of the network. …”
