Apply multiple Necks

If you want to stack multiple Necks, you can directly set the Neck parameters in the config. MMYOLO supports concatenating multiple Necks in the form of List. You need to ensure that the output channel of the previous Neck matches the input channel of the next Neck. If you need to adjust the number of channels, you can insert the mmdet.ChannelMapper module to align the number of channels between multiple Necks. The specific configuration is as follows:

_base_ = './yolov5_s-v61_syncbn_8xb16-300e_coco.py'

deepen_factor = _base_.deepen_factor
widen_factor = _base_.widen_factor
model = dict(
    type='YOLODetector',
    neck=[
        dict(
            type='YOLOv5PAFPN',
            deepen_factor=deepen_factor,
            widen_factor=widen_factor,
            in_channels=[256, 512, 1024],
            out_channels=[256, 512, 1024], # The out_channels is controlled by widen_factor，so the YOLOv5PAFPN's out_channels equls to out_channels * widen_factor
            num_csp_blocks=3,
            norm_cfg=dict(type='BN', momentum=0.03, eps=0.001),
            act_cfg=dict(type='SiLU', inplace=True)),
        dict(
            type='mmdet.ChannelMapper',
            in_channels=[128, 256, 512],
            out_channels=128,
        ),
        dict(
            type='mmdet.DyHead',
            in_channels=128,
            out_channels=256,
            num_blocks=2,
            # disable zero_init_offset to follow official implementation
            zero_init_offset=False)
    ]
    bbox_head=dict(head_module=dict(in_channels=[512,512,512])) # The out_channels is controlled by widen_factor，so the YOLOv5HeadModuled in_channels * widen_factor equals to  the last neck's out_channels
