可以看出，主要包含Conv，C2f，SPPF，Concat，Detect几个模块。

一、Conv

Conv模块包含卷积层、BN层和激活函数层。

代码如下：

class Conv(nn.Module):
    """Standard convolution with args(ch_in, ch_out, kernel, stride, padding, groups, dilation, activation)."""
    default_act = nn.SiLU()  # default activation

    def __init__(self, c1, c2, k=1, s=1, p=None, g=1, d=1, act=True):
        """Initialize Conv layer with given arguments including activation."""
        super().__init__()
        self.conv = nn.Conv2d(c1, c2, k, s, autopad(k, p, d), groups=g, dilation=d, bias=False)
        self.bn = nn.BatchNorm2d(c2)
        self.act = self.default_act if act is True else act if isinstance(act, nn.Module) else nn.Identity()

    def forward(self, x):
        """Apply convolution, batch normalization and activation to input tensor."""
        return self.act(self.bn(self.conv(x)))

    def forward_fuse(self, x):
        """Perform transposed convolution of 2D data."""
        return self.act(self.conv(x))

二、C2f

C2f就是模型结构图中的CSPLayer_2Conv，包含多个DarkNetBottleNeck。代码如下：

class C2f(nn.Module):
    """Faster Implementation of CSP Bottleneck with 2 convolutions."""

    def __init__(self, c1, c2, n=1, shortcut=False, g=1, e=0.5):
        """Initialize CSP bottleneck layer with two convolutions with arguments ch_in, ch_out, number, shortcut, groups,
        expansion.
        """
        super().__init__()
        self.c = int(c2 * e)  # hidden channels
        self.cv1 = Conv(c1, 2 * self.c, 1, 1)
        self.cv2 = Conv((2 + n) * self.c, c2, 1)  # optional act=FReLU(c2)
        self.m = nn.ModuleList(Bottleneck(self.c, self.c, shortcut, g, k=((3, 3), (3, 3)), e=1.0) for _ in range(n))

    def forward(self, x):
        """Forward pass through C2f layer."""
        y = list(self.cv1(x).chunk(2, 1))
        y.extend(m(y[-1]) for m in self.m)
        return self.cv2(torch.cat(y, 1))

    def forward_split(self, x):
        """Forward pass using split() instead of chunk()."""
        y = list(self.cv1(x).split((self.c, self.c), 1))
        y.extend(m(y[-1]) for m in self.m)
        return self.cv2(torch.cat(y, 1))


class Bottleneck(nn.Module):
    """Standard bottleneck."""

    def __init__(self, c1, c2, shortcut=True, g=1, k=(3, 3), e=0.5):
        """Initializes a bottleneck module with given input/output channels, shortcut option, group, kernels, and
        expansion.
        """
        super().__init__()
        c_ = int(c2 * e)  # hidden channels
        self.cv1 = Conv(c1, c_, k[0], 1)
        self.cv2 = Conv(c_, c2, k[1], 1, g=g)
        self.add = shortcut and c1 == c2

    def forward(self, x):
        """'forward()' applies the YOLO FPN to input data."""
        return x + self.cv2(self.cv1(x)) if self.add else self.cv2(self.cv1(x))

三、SPPF

yolov8的SPPF实现和mmyolo的结构图有点区别，只有一个池化层代码如下：

class SPPF(nn.Module):
    """Spatial Pyramid Pooling - Fast (SPPF) layer for YOLOv5 by Glenn Jocher."""

    def __init__(self, c1, c2, k=5):
        """
        Initializes the SPPF layer with given input/output channels and kernel size.

        This module is equivalent to SPP(k=(5, 9, 13)).
        """
        super().__init__()
        c_ = c1 // 2  # hidden channels
        self.cv1 = Conv(c1, c_, 1, 1)
        self.cv2 = Conv(c_ * 4, c2, 1, 1)
        self.m = nn.MaxPool2d(kernel_size=k, stride=1, padding=k // 2)

    def forward(self, x):
        """Forward pass through Ghost Convolution block."""
        x = self.cv1(x)
        y1 = self.m(x)
        y2 = self.m(y1)
        return self.cv2(torch.cat((x, y1, y2, self.m(y2)), 1))

四、Concat

和torch.cat功能几乎一致：

class Concat(nn.Module):
    """Concatenate a list of tensors along dimension."""

    def __init__(self, dimension=1):
        """Concatenates a list of tensors along a specified dimension."""
        super().__init__()
        self.d = dimension

    def forward(self, x):
        """Forward pass for the YOLOv8 mask Proto module."""
        return torch.cat(x, self.d)

五、Detect

yolov8的检测头：

class Detect(nn.Module):
    """YOLOv8 Detect head for detection models."""
    dynamic = False  # force grid reconstruction
    export = False  # export mode
    shape = None
    anchors = torch.empty(0)  # init
    strides = torch.empty(0)  # init

    def __init__(self, nc=80, ch=()):
        """Initializes the YOLOv8 detection layer with specified number of classes and channels."""
        super().__init__()
        self.nc = nc  # number of classes
        self.nl = len(ch)  # number of detection layers
        self.reg_max = 16  # DFL channels (ch[0] // 16 to scale 4/8/12/16/20 for n/s/m/l/x)
        self.no = nc + self.reg_max * 4  # number of outputs per anchor
        self.stride = torch.zeros(self.nl)  # strides computed during build
        c2, c3 = max((16, ch[0] // 4, self.reg_max * 4)), max(ch[0], min(self.nc, 100))  # channels
        self.cv2 = nn.ModuleList(
            nn.Sequential(Conv(x, c2, 3), Conv(c2, c2, 3), nn.Conv2d(c2, 4 * self.reg_max, 1)) for x in ch)
        self.cv3 = nn.ModuleList(nn.Sequential(Conv(x, c3, 3), Conv(c3, c3, 3), nn.Conv2d(c3, self.nc, 1)) for x in ch)
        self.dfl = DFL(self.reg_max) if self.reg_max > 1 else nn.Identity()

    def forward(self, x):
        """Concatenates and returns predicted bounding boxes and class probabilities."""
        shape = x[0].shape  # BCHW
        for i in range(self.nl):
            x[i] = torch.cat((self.cv2[i](x[i]), self.cv3[i](x[i])), 1)
        if self.training:
            return x
        elif self.dynamic or self.shape != shape:
            self.anchors, self.strides = (x.transpose(0, 1) for x in make_anchors(x, self.stride, 0.5))
            self.shape = shape

        x_cat = torch.cat([xi.view(shape[0], self.no, -1) for xi in x], 2)
        if self.export and self.format in ('saved_model', 'pb', 'tflite', 'edgetpu', 'tfjs'):  # avoid TF FlexSplitV ops
            box = x_cat[:, :self.reg_max * 4]
            cls = x_cat[:, self.reg_max * 4:]
        else:
            box, cls = x_cat.split((self.reg_max * 4, self.nc), 1)
        dbox = dist2bbox(self.dfl(box), self.anchors.unsqueeze(0), xywh=True, dim=1) * self.strides

        if self.export and self.format in ('tflite', 'edgetpu'):
            # Normalize xywh with image size to mitigate quantization error of TFLite integer models as done in YOLOv5:

            # See this PR for details: https://github.com/ultralytics/ultralytics/pull/1695
            img_h = shape[2] * self.stride[0]
            img_w = shape[3] * self.stride[0]
            img_size = torch.tensor([img_w, img_h, img_w, img_h], device=dbox.device).reshape(1, 4, 1)
            dbox /= img_size

        y = torch.cat((dbox, cls.sigmoid()), 1)
        return y if self.export else (y, x)

    def bias_init(self):
        """Initialize Detect() biases, WARNING: requires stride availability."""
        m = self  # self.model[-1]  # Detect() module
        # cf = torch.bincount(torch.tensor(np.concatenate(dataset.labels, 0)[:, 0]).long(), minlength=nc) + 1
