Abstract
When dealing with small targets in lung cancer detection, the YOLO V8 algorithm may encounter false positives and misses. To address this issue, this study proposes an enhanced YOLO V8 detection model. The model integrates a large separable kernel attention mechanism into the C2f module to expand the information retrieval range, strengthens the extraction of lung cancer features in the Backbone section, and achieves effective interaction between multi-scale features in the Neck section, thereby enhancing feature representation and robustness. Additionally, depth-wise convolution and Coordinate Attention mechanisms are embedded in the Fast Spatial Pyramid Pooling module to reduce feature loss and improve detection accuracy. This study introduces a Minimum Point Distance-based IOU loss to enhance correlation between predicted and ground truth bounding boxes, improving adaptability and accuracy in small target detection. Experimental validation demonstrates that the improved network outperforms other mainstream detection networks in terms of average precision values and surpasses other classification networks in terms of accuracy. These findings validate the outstanding performance of the enhanced model in the localization and recognition aspects of lung cancer auxiliary diagnosis.
