YoloV8改进策略：Block改进与自研GroupxLSTM模块

介绍

YoloV8是深度学习领域中最先进的目标检测模型之一。为了进一步提升其性能，特别是在复杂场景下的检测精度和速度，我们提出了一种新颖的模块——GroupxLSTM，并将其嵌入到YoloV8的结构中。该模块通过引入分组长短期记忆网络（GroupxLSTM），在保持计算效率的同时，有效增强了模型的时序特征捕获能力。

应用使用场景

• 自动驾驶：实时识别道路上的行人、车辆等物体，提高行车安全。
• 视频监控：对监控画面中的异常行为进行实时检测和报警。
• 机器人导航：帮助机器人在复杂环境中识别和避障。
• 智能零售：实现商店货架上的商品检测和库存管理。

下面是关于自动驾驶、视频监控、机器人导航和智能零售的代码示例，每个示例都是用Python和一些常见的机器学习库实现的。

自动驾驶

我们使用OpenCV和YOLO模型来实时识别道路上的行人和车辆。

import cv2
import numpy as np

# Load YOLO model
net = cv2.dnn.readNet("yolov3.weights", "yolov3.cfg")
layer_names = net.getLayerNames()
output_layers = [layer_names[i[0] - 1] for i in net.getUnconnectedOutLayers()]

# Load COCO labels
with open("coco.names", "r") as f:
    classes = [line.strip() for line in f.readlines()]

# Start video capture
cap = cv2.VideoCapture("driving_video.mp4")

while cap.isOpened():
    ret, frame = cap.read()
    height, width, channels = frame.shape

    # Prepare the frame for object detection
    blob = cv2.dnn.blobFromImage(frame, 0.00392, (416, 416), (0, 0, 0), True, crop=False)
    net.setInput(blob)
    outs = net.forward(output_layers)

    # Analyze detections
    class_ids = []
    confidences = []
    boxes = []
    for out in outs:
        for detection in out:
            scores = detection[5:]
            class_id = np.argmax(scores)
            confidence = scores[class_id]
            if confidence > 0.5:  # Confidence threshold
                center_x = int(detection[0] * width)
                center_y = int(detection[1] * height)
                w = int(detection[2] * width)
                h = int(detection[3] * height)
                x = int(center_x - w / 2)
                y = int(center_y - h / 2)
                boxes.append([x, y, w, h])
                confidences.append(float(confidence))
                class_ids.append(class_id)
    
    indexes = cv2.dnn.NMSBoxes(boxes, confidences, 0.5, 0.4)
    for i in range(len(boxes)):
        if i in indexes:
            x, y, w, h = boxes[i]
            label = str(classes[class_ids[i]])
            color = (0, 255, 0) if label == "person" or label == "car" else (0, 0, 255)
            cv2.rectangle(frame, (x, y), (x + w, y + h), color, 2)
            cv2.putText(frame, label, (x, y - 10), cv2.FONT_HERSHEY_SIMPLEX, 1, color, 2)

    cv2.imshow('Frame', frame)
    if cv2.waitKey(1) & 0xFF == ord('q'):
        break

cap.release()
cv2.destroyAllWindows()

视频监控

我们将使用OpenCV和背景减除方法检测监控画面中的异常行为。

import cv2

# Initialize video capture and background subtractor
cap = cv2.VideoCapture("monitoring_video.mp4")
fgbg = cv2.createBackgroundSubtractorMOG2()

while cap.isOpened():
    ret, frame = cap.read()
    fgmask = fgbg.apply(frame)

    # Find contours
    contours, _ = cv2.findContours(fgmask, cv2.RETR_EXTERNAL, cv2.CHAIN_APPROX_SIMPLE)
    for contour in contours:
        if cv2.contourArea(contour) < 500:  # Ignore small movements
            continue
        x, y, w, h = cv2.boundingRect(contour)
        cv2.rectangle(frame, (x, y), (x + w, y + h), (0, 255, 0), 2)
        cv2.putText(frame, 'Alert!', (x, y - 10), cv2.FONT_HERSHEY_SIMPLEX, 1, (0, 0, 255), 2)

    cv2.imshow('Frame', frame)

    if cv2.waitKey(1) & 0xFF == ord('q'):
        break

cap.release()
cv2.destroyAllWindows()

机器人导航

我们使用激光雷达数据来帮助机器人在复杂环境中识别和避障。

import numpy as np

class RobotNavigator:
    def __init__(self):
        self.lidar_data = []

    def update_lidar(self, data):
        self.lidar_data = data

    def avoid_obstacles(self):
        if not self.lidar_data:
            return "No obstacles"

        distances = np.array(self.lidar_data)
        min_distance = np.min(distances)

        if min_distance < 0.5:  # Obstacle detected within 0.5 meters
            # Determine direction to turn
            left_distances = distances[:len(distances) // 2]
            right_distances = distances[len(distances) // 2:]

            if np.mean(left_distances) > np.mean(right_distances):
                return "Turn left"
            else:
                return "Turn right"
        else:
            return "Move forward"

robot = RobotNavigator()
robot.update_lidar(np.random.uniform(0.2, 2.0, 360))  # Example lidar data
decision = robot.avoid_obstacles()
print(decision)

智能零售

我们使用TensorFlow 2.x和预训练模型来实现商品检测和库存管理。

import tensorflow as tf
import cv2
import numpy as np

# Load a pre-trained model from TensorFlow Hub
model = tf.saved_model.load("ssd_mobilenet_v2_fpnlite_320x320/saved_model")

def load_image_into_numpy_array(path):
    return np.array(cv2.imread(path))

def detect_objects(image_np):
    input_tensor = tf.convert_to_tensor(image_np)
    input_tensor = input_tensor[tf.newaxis, ...]

    detections = model(input_tensor)

    return detections

image_path = "store_shelf.jpg"
image_np = load_image_into_numpy_array(image_path)
detections = detect_objects(image_np)

# Visualization of the results
for i in range(int(detections.pop('num_detections'))):
    class_id = int(detections['detection_classes'][0][i].numpy())
    score = detections['detection_scores'][0][i].numpy()
    if score > 0.5:  # Confidence threshold
        box = detections['detection_boxes'][0][i].numpy()
        y_min, x_min, y_max, x_max = box
        (left, right, top, bottom) = (x_min * image_np.shape[1], x_max * image_np.shape[1],
                                      y_min * image_np.shape[0], y_max * image_np.shape[0])
        cv2.rectangle(image_np, (int(left), int(top)), (int(right), int(bottom)), (0, 255, 0), 2)
        cv2.putText(image_np, f'{class_id}: {score:.2f}', (int(left), int(top) - 10),
                    cv2.FONT_HERSHEY_SIMPLEX, 0.9, (36, 255, 12), 2)

cv2.imshow('Object Detection', image_np)
cv2.waitKey(0)
cv2.destroyAllWindows()

GroupxLSTM 模块

GroupxLSTM 是一种结合了分组卷积和长短期记忆（LSTM）网络的模块。分组卷积有助于减少参数量和计算量，而 LSTM 则擅长捕捉时序特征。将二者融合，可以使得模型既高效又具备强大的时序特征捕捉能力。
