引言
目标检测是计算机视觉领域的重要任务,YOLO系列算法因其出色的速度和精度平衡而广受欢迎。YOLOv8作为最新版本,在精度和速度上都有显著提升。然而,在移动端和嵌入式设备上部署时,模型的计算复杂度和参数量仍然是关键挑战。本文将探讨如何利用华为提出的GhostNetv2改进YOLOv8的主干网络,在保持检测精度的同时显著降低计算成本。
GhostNetv2概述
GhostNet回顾
GhostNet是华为在2020年提出的轻量级CNN架构,其核心思想是通过"Ghost模块"生成更多特征图而无需大量计算。传统卷积生成N个特征图需要N×k×k×Cin的参数量,而Ghost模块先通过常规卷积生成m个内在特征图,然后通过廉价线性变换生成s个"Ghost"特征图,最终得到n=m×s个输出特征图。
GhostNetv2创新
GhostNetv2在2023年提出,主要改进包括:
- 硬件友好的注意力机制(DFC注意力)
- 增强的特征丰富化策略
- 改进的跨层连接方式
这些改进使GhostNetv2在保持轻量级特性的同时,显著提升了特征表达能力。
YOLOv8主干网络改进
原YOLOv8主干分析
YOLOv8默认使用CSPDarknet53作为主干,其特点包括:
- 跨阶段部分连接(CSP)结构
- 空间金字塔池化(SPPF)模块
- 较深的网络结构(53层)
虽然效果良好,但在移动端场景下计算量仍然较大。
GhostNetv2主干替换方案
整体架构设计
我们将YOLOv8的主干网络替换为GhostNetv2,同时保留原有的Neck和Head结构。改进后的架构具有以下特点:
- 更低的计算复杂度(FLOPs)
- 更少的参数数量
- 硬件友好的操作
- 保持多尺度特征提取能力

YOLOv8集成与训练
模型集成
将GhostNetv2主干集成到YOLOv8中:
from ultralytics import YOLO
class YOLOv8GhostNetV2(nn.Module):
def __init__(self, num_classes=80, width_mult=1.0):
super().__init__()
# 主干网络
self.backbone = GhostNetV2Backbone(width_mult=width_mult)
# 保持YOLOv8原有Neck和Head
self.neck = ... # 原YOLOv8的PANet结构
self.head = ... # 原YOLOv8的检测头
def forward(self, x):
# 获取多尺度特征
features = self.backbone(x)
# 特征金字塔
neck_features = self.neck(features)
# 检测头
outputs = self.head(neck_features)
return outputs
# 使用示例
model = YOLOv8GhostNetV2(width_mult=1.0)
input_tensor = torch.randn(1, 3, 640, 640)
outputs = model(input_tensor)
训练技巧

def train(model, train_loader, val_loader, epochs=300):
optimizer = torch.optim.AdamW(model.parameters(), lr=1e-3, weight_decay=5e-4)
lr_scheduler = torch.optim.lr_scheduler.CosineAnnealingLR(optimizer, T_max=epochs)
criterion = ... # YOLOv8的损失函数
for epoch in range(epochs):
model.train()
for images, targets in train_loader:
outputs = model(images)
loss = criterion(outputs, targets)
optimizer.zero_grad()
loss.backward()
optimizer.step()
lr_scheduler.step()
# 验证
if epoch % 10 == 0:
validate(model, val_loader)
