Integrating HCANet's Convolution-Attention Fusion Module into YOLOv8 for Small Object Detection
The Hybrid Convolution and Attention Network (HCANet) introduced a Convolution and Attention Fusion Module (CAFM) that jointly models local features via convolutions and global context via self‑attention. This design is particular beneficial for detecting small objects, where fine spatial details and long‑range dependencies both matter. In this ...

Implementing Multi-Object Tracking with ByteTrack and YOLOv8
Multi-Object Tracking (MOT) extends object detection by assigning a persistent ID to detected entities across video frames. While detection models like YOLO identify objects in individual frames, MOT ensures continuity, recognizing that an object in frame t is the same as in frame t+1. Algorithms such as SORT and DeepSORT have historically domi ...
