YOLO-DLHS-P: A Lightweight Behavior Recognition Algorithm for Captive Pigs by Changhua Zhong, Hao Wu, Junzhuo Jiang, Chaowen Zheng, Hong Song

“…Firstly, the C2f-DRB structure is introduced at the Backbone position, and the sizeable convolutional kernel is used to extend the receptive field to enhance the spatial perception ability of the model, and to enhance the network&#x2019;s ability to capture spatial information while maintaining the number of learnable parameters and computational efficiency; The LSKA attention mechanism is then introduced to be integrated into the SPPF module to construct the SPPF-LSKA structure, which significantly improves the ability of the SPPF module to aggregate features at multiple scales; Then, the downsampling at the Neck position is optimised to the HWD algorithm, which reduces the spatial resolution of the feature map while retaining more useful information and reduces the uncertainty of the information compared with the downsampling method of the baseline model; finally, the Shape-IoU is used to replace the original CIoU, which significantly improves the detection efficiency and accuracy of the model without increasing the extra computational burden. …”
