An improved lightweight tiny-person detection network based on YOLOv8: IYFVMNet by Fan Yang, Lihu Pan, Hongyan Cui, Linliang Zhang

“…This operation also reduces the computational cost by decreasing the amount of required feature map channels, while maintaining the effectiveness of the feature representation. (3) he Minimum Point Distance Intersection over Union loss function is employed to optimize bounding box detection during model training. (4) to construct the overall network structure, the Layer-wise Adaptive Momentum Pruning algorithm is used for thinning.ResultsExperiments on the TinyPerson dataset demonstrate that IYFVMNet achieves a 46.3% precision, 30% recall, 29.3% mAP50, and 11.8% mAP50-95.DiscussionThe model exhibits higher performance in terms of accuracy and efficiency when compared to other benchmark models, which demonstrates the effectiveness of the improved algorithm (e.g., YOLO-SGF, Guo-Net, TRC-YOLO) in small-object detection and provides a reference for future research.…”
