 1.GAM注意力介绍

​

摘要：人们已经研究了各种注意力机制来提高各种计算机视觉任务的性能。 然而，现有方法忽视了保留通道和空间方面的信息以增强跨维度交互的重要性。 因此，我们提出了一种全局注意力机制，通过减少信息减少和放大全局交互表示来提高深度神经网络的性能。 我们引入了具有多层感知器的 3D 排列，用于通道注意以及卷积空间注意子模块。 在 CIFAR-100 和 ImageNet-1K 上对所提出的图像分类任务机制的评估表明，我们的方法稳定优于最近使用 ResNet 和轻量级 MobileNet 的几种注意力机制。

 2.2 修改tasks.py

首先GAM_Attention进行注册

from ultralytics.nn.attention.attention import *

函数def parse_model(d, ch, verbose=True): # model_dict, input_channels(3)进行修改

        if m in (Classify, Conv, ConvTranspose, GhostConv, Bottleneck, GhostBottleneck, SPP, SPPF, DWConv, Focus,
