YOLO算法改进6【中阶改进篇】：depthwise separable convolution轻量化C3-编程知识

常规卷积操作

对于一张5×5像素、三通道（shape为5×5×3），经过3×3卷积核的卷积层（假设输出通道数为4，则卷积核shape为3×3×3×4，最终输出4个Feature Map，如果有same padding则尺寸与输入层相同（5×5），如果没有则为尺寸变为3×3

深度可分离卷积

逐通道卷积Depthwise Convolution

Depthwise Convolution的一个卷积核负责一个通道，一个通道只被一个卷积核卷积。

一张5×5像素、三通道彩色输入图片（shape为5×5×3），Depthwise Convolution首先经过第一次卷积运算，DW完全是在二维平面内进行。卷积核的数量与上一层的通道数相同（通道和卷积核一一对应）。所以一个三通道的图像经过运算后生成了3个Feature map(如果有same padding则尺寸与输入层相同为5×5)，如下图所示。
Depthwise Convolution完成后的Feature map数量与输入层的通道数相同，无法扩展Feature map。而且这种运算对输入层的每个通道独立进行卷积运算，没有有效的利用不同通道在相同空间位置上的feature信息。因此需要Pointwise Convolution来将这些Feature map进行组合生成新的Feature map

逐点卷积Pointwise Convolution

Pointwise Convolution的运算与常规卷积运算非常相似，它的卷积核的尺寸为 1×1×M，M为上一层的通道数。所以这里的卷积运算会将上一步的map在深度方向上进行加权组合，生成新的Feature map。有几个卷积核就有几个输出Feature map

经过Pointwise Convolution之后，同样输出了4张Feature map，与常规卷积的输出维度相同

YOLOV5s中`Conv`、`BottleNeck`、`C3`的代码如下:

原始common.py配置

class Conv(nn.Module):# Standard convolution  通用卷积模块,包括1卷积1BN1激活,激活默认SiLU,可用变量指定,不激活时用nn.Identity()占位,直接返回输入def __init__(self, c1, c2, k=1, s=1, p=None, g=1, act=True):  # ch_in, ch_out, kernel, stride, padding, groupssuper(Conv, self).__init__()self.conv = nn.Conv2d(c1, c2, k, s, autopad(k, p), groups=g, bias=False)self.bn = nn.BatchNorm2d(c2)self.act = nn.SiLU() if act is True else (act if isinstance(act, nn.Module) else nn.Identity())def forward(self, x):return self.act(self.bn(self.conv(x)))def fuseforward(self, x):return self.act(self.conv(x))class Bottleneck(nn.Module):# Standard bottleneck 残差块def __init__(self, c1, c2, shortcut=True, g=1, e=0.5):  # ch_in, ch_out, shortcut, groups, expansionsuper(Bottleneck, self).__init__()c_ = int(c2 * e)  # hidden channelsself.cv1 = Conv(c1, c_, 1, 1)self.cv2 = Conv(c_, c2, 3, 1, g=g)self.add = shortcut and c1 == c2def forward(self, x):  # 如果shortcut并且输入输出通道相同则跳层相加return x + self.cv2(self.cv1(x)) if self.add else self.cv2(self.cv1(x))class C3(nn.Module):  # CSP Bottleneck with 3 convolutionsdef __init__(self, c1, c2, n=1, shortcut=True, g=1, e=0.5):  # ch_in, ch_out, number, shortcut, groups, expansionsuper(C3, self).__init__()c_ = int(c2 * e)  # hidden channelsself.cv1 = Conv(c1, c_, 1, 1)self.cv2 = Conv(c1, c_, 1, 1)self.cv3 = Conv(2 * c_, c2, 1)  # act=FReLU(c2)self.m = nn.Sequential(*[Bottleneck(c_, c_, shortcut, g, e=1.0) for _ in range(n)])  # n个残差组件(Bottleneck)# self.m = nn.Sequential(*[CrossConv(c_, c_, 3, 1, g, 1.0, shortcut) for _ in range(n)])def forward(self, x):return self.cv3(torch.cat((self.m(self.cv1(x)), self.cv2(x)), dim=1))

1.轻量化C3模块

在models/common.py文件中按以下思路修改代码：
轻量化C3的改进思路是将原C3模块中使用的普通卷积，全部替换为深度可分离卷积，其余结构不变，改进后的DP_Conv、DP_BottleNeck、DP_C3的代码如下：

class DP_Conv(nn.Module):def __init__(self, c1, c2, k=1, s=1, p=None, g=1, act=True):  # ch_in, ch_out, kernel, stride, padding, groupssuper(DP_Conv, self).__init__()self.conv1 = nn.Conv2d(c1, c1, kernel_size=3, stride=1, padding=1, groups=c1)self.conv2 = nn.Conv2d(c1, c2, kernel_size=1, stride=s)self.bn = nn.BatchNorm2d(c2)self.act = nn.SiLU() if act is True else (act if isinstance(act, nn.Module) else nn.Identity())def forward(self, x):return self.act(self.bn(self.conv2(self.conv1(x))))def fuseforward(self, x):return self.act(self.conv2(self.conv1(x)))class DP_Bottleneck(nn.Module):def __init__(self, c1, c2, shortcut=True, g=1, e=0.5):  # ch_in, ch_out, shortcut, groups, expansionsuper(DP_Bottleneck, self).__init__()c_ = int(c2 * e)  # hidden channelsself.cv1 = DP_Conv(c1, c_, 1)self.cv2 = DP_Conv(c_, c2, 1)self.add = shortcut and c1 == c2def forward(self, x):  # 如果shortcut并且输入输出通道相同则跳层相加return x + self.cv2(self.cv1(x)) if self.add else self.cv2(self.cv1(x))class DP_C3(nn.Module):# CSP Bottleneck with 3 convolutionsdef __init__(self, c1, c2, n=1, shortcut=True, g=1, e=0.5):  # ch_in, ch_out, number, shortcut, groups, expansionsuper(DP_C3, self).__init__()c_ = int(c2 * e)  # hidden channelsself.cv1 = DP_Conv(c1, c_, 1)self.cv2 = DP_Conv(c1, c_, 1)self.cv3 = DP_Conv(2 * c_, c2, 1)  # act=FReLU(c2)self.m = nn.Sequential(*[DP_Bottleneck(c_, c_, shortcut, g, e=1.0) for _ in range(n)])  # n个残差组件(Bottleneck)# self.m = nn.Sequential(*[CrossConv(c_, c_, 3, 1, g, 1.0, shortcut) for _ in range(n)])def forward(self, x):return self.cv3(torch.cat((self.m(self.cv1(x)), self.cv2(x)), dim=1))

2.添加DP_C3.yaml文件
添加至/models/文件中

depth_multiple: 0.33  # model depth multiple
width_multiple: 0.50  # layer channel multiple# anchors

3.yolo.py配置
找到 models/yolo.py 文件中 parse_model() 类 for i, (f, n, m, args) in enumerate(d['backbone'] + d['head']):，在列表中添加DP_Conv、DP_BottleNeck、DP_C3，这样可以获得我们要传入的参数。
