Ming Kang, Chee-Ming Ting, Fung Fung Ting, Raphaël C.-W. Phan

Abstract: Highlights•A novel attentional scale sequence fusion based on YOLO.•Three novel modules in the neck part of the YOLO framework.•We introduce scale sequence feature fusion and triple feature encoding modules.•We introduce a novel channel and position attention mechanism.•ASF-YOLO achieves competitive performance in both accuracy and inference speed.
