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. …”
