+This repository contains the code for HIC-YOLOv5, an improved version of YOLOv5 tailored for small object detection. The improvements are based on the paper [HIC-YOLOv5: Improved YOLOv5 For Small Object Detection](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2309.16393v1.pdf).
 
-YOLOv5 🚀 is the world's most loved vision AI, representing <a href="https://ultralytics.com">Ultralytics</a> open-source research into future vision AI methods, incorporating lessons learned and best practices evolved over thousands of hours of research and development.
+HIC-YOLOv5 incorporates Channel Attention Block (CBAM) and Involution modules for enhanced object detection, making it suitable for both CPU and GPU training.
 
-We hope that the resources here will help you get the most out of YOLOv5. Please browse the YOLOv5 <a href="https://docs.ultralytics.com/yolov5">Docs</a> for details, raise an issue on <a href="https://github.com/ultralytics/yolov5/issues/new/choose">GitHub</a> for support, and join our <a href="https://ultralytics.com/discord">Discord</a> community for questions and discussions!

-The commands below reproduce YOLOv5 [COCO](https://github.com/ultralytics/yolov5/blob/master/data/scripts/get_coco.sh)
-results. [Models](https://github.com/ultralytics/yolov5/tree/master/models)
-and [datasets](https://github.com/ultralytics/yolov5/tree/master/data) download automatically from the latest
-YOLOv5 [release](https://github.com/ultralytics/yolov5/releases). Training times for YOLOv5n/s/m/l/x are
-1/2/4/6/8 days on a V100 GPU ([Multi-GPU](https://docs.ultralytics.com/yolov5/tutorials/multi_gpu_training) times faster). Use the
-largest `--batch-size` possible, or pass `--batch-size -1` for
-YOLOv5 [AutoBatch](https://github.com/ultralytics/yolov5/pull/5092). Batch sizes shown for V100-16GB.
+To use HIC-YOLOv5, you can specify the configuration file with the `--cfg` argument. An example command for training might look like this:
 
 ```bash
-python train.py --data coco.yaml --epochs 300 --weights '' --cfg yolov5n.yaml  --batch-size 128
-                                                                 yolov5s                    64
-                                                                 yolov5m                    40
-                                                                 yolov5l                    24

-Our new YOLOv5 [release v7.0](https://github.com/ultralytics/yolov5/releases/v7.0) instance segmentation models are the fastest and most accurate in the world, beating all current [SOTA benchmarks](https://paperswithcode.com/sota/real-time-instance-segmentation-on-mscoco). We've made them super simple to train, validate and deploy. See full details in our [Release Notes](https://github.com/ultralytics/yolov5/releases/v7.0) and visit our [YOLOv5 Segmentation Colab Notebook](https://github.com/ultralytics/yolov5/blob/master/segment/tutorial.ipynb) for quickstart tutorials.

-### Train
-
-YOLOv5 segmentation training supports auto-download COCO128-seg segmentation dataset with `--data coco128-seg.yaml` argument and manual download of COCO-segments dataset with `bash data/scripts/get_coco.sh --train --val --segments` and then `python train.py --data coco.yaml`.
-
-```bash
-# Single-GPU
-python segment/train.py --data coco128-seg.yaml --weights yolov5s-seg.pt --img 640
-
-# Multi-GPU DDP
-python -m torch.distributed.run --nproc_per_node 4 --master_port 1 segment/train.py --data coco128-seg.yaml --weights yolov5s-seg.pt --img 640 --device 0,1,2,3
-```
-
-### Val
-
-Validate YOLOv5s-seg mask mAP on COCO dataset:
-
-```bash
-bash data/scripts/get_coco.sh --val --segments  # download COCO val segments split (780MB, 5000 images)
-python segment/val.py --weights yolov5s-seg.pt --data coco.yaml --img 640  # validate
-```
-
-### Predict
-
-Use pretrained YOLOv5m-seg.pt to predict bus.jpg:
-
-```bash
-python segment/predict.py --weights yolov5m-seg.pt --source data/images/bus.jpg
-```
-
-```python
-model = torch.hub.load(
-    "ultralytics/yolov5", "custom", "yolov5m-seg.pt"
-)  # load from PyTorch Hub (WARNING: inference not yet supported)
-```

-We trained YOLOv5-cls classification models on ImageNet for 90 epochs using a 4xA100 instance, and we trained ResNet and EfficientNet models alongside with the same default training settings to compare. We exported all models to ONNX FP32 for CPU speed tests and to TensorRT FP16 for GPU speed tests. We ran all speed tests on Google [Colab Pro](https://colab.research.google.com/signup) for easy reproducibility.

-
-### Train
-
-YOLOv5 classification training supports auto-download of MNIST, Fashion-MNIST, CIFAR10, CIFAR100, Imagenette, Imagewoof, and ImageNet datasets with the `--data` argument. To start training on MNIST for example use `--data mnist`.
-
-```bash
-# Single-GPU
-python classify/train.py --model yolov5s-cls.pt --data cifar100 --epochs 5 --img 224 --batch 128
-
-# Multi-GPU DDP
-python -m torch.distributed.run --nproc_per_node 4 --master_port 1 classify/train.py --model yolov5s-cls.pt --data imagenet --epochs 5 --img 224 --device 0,1,2,3
-```
-
-### Val
-
-Validate YOLOv5m-cls accuracy on ImageNet-1k dataset:
-
-```bash
-bash data/scripts/get_imagenet.sh --val  # download ImageNet val split (6.3G, 50000 images)
-python classify/val.py --weights yolov5m-cls.pt --data ../datasets/imagenet --img 224  # validate
-```
-
-### Predict
-
-Use pretrained YOLOv5s-cls.pt to predict bus.jpg:
-
-```bash
-python classify/predict.py --weights yolov5s-cls.pt --source data/images/bus.jpg
-```
-
-```python
-model = torch.hub.load(
-    "ultralytics/yolov5", "custom", "yolov5s-cls.pt"
-)  # load from PyTorch Hub
-```
-
-### Export
-
-Export a group of trained YOLOv5s-cls, ResNet and EfficientNet models to ONNX and TensorRT:
-
-```bash
-python export.py --weights yolov5s-cls.pt resnet50.pt efficientnet_b0.pt --include onnx engine --img 224
