SMEA-YOLOv8n: A Sheep Facial Expression Recognition Method Based on an Improved YOLOv8n Model by Wenbo Yu, Xiang Yang, Yongqi Liu, Chuanzhong Xuan, Ruoya Xie, Chuanjiu Wang

“…In response to challenges such as missed detections, false positives, and low recognition accuracy in sheep facial expression recognition, this paper introduces an enhanced algorithm based on YOLOv8n, referred to as SimAM-MobileViTAttention-EfficiCIoU-AA2_SPPF-YOLOv8n (SMEA-YOLOv8n). Firstly, the proposed method integrates the parameter-free Similarity-Aware Attention Mechanism (SimAM) and MobileViTAttention modules into the CSP Bottleneck with 2 Convolutions(C2f) module of the neck network, aiming to enhance the model’s feature representation and fusion capabilities in complex environments while mitigating the interference of irrelevant background features. …”
