This is the source code for the paper, "BGF-YOLO: Enhanced YOLOv8 with Multiscale Attentional Feature Fusion for Brain Tumor Detection", early accepted by the 27th International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer Assisted Intervention (MICCAI 2024), of which I am the first author. The paper is available to download from Springer or arXiv.
The Bilevel routing attention, Generalized feature pyramid networks, and Fourth detecting head You Only Look Once (BGF-YOLO) model configuration (i.e., network construction) file is bgf-yolo.yaml in the directory ./models/bgf.
The hyperparameter setting file is default.yaml in the directory ./yolo/cfg/.
Install requirements.txt in a Python >= 3.8 environment, including PyTorch >= 1.8.
pip install -r requirements.txtpython yolo/bgf/detect/train.pypython yolo/bgf/detect/predict.pyWe trained and evaluated BGF-YOLO on the dataset Br35H :: Brain Tumor Detection 2020. The .txt format annotations in the file dataset-Br35H.zip are coverted from original json format.
