Abstract: Based on the YOLOv7 model, the YOLOv7-globel attention mechanism (YOLO-GAM) model was proposed to enhance the model's focus on critical regions. Additionally, a multi-scale training scheme was introduced to improve the model's ability to detect small targets, and a two-stage enhanced detection algorithm was designed, which effectively mitigated the degradation of detection performance caused by occlusion, overlapping, and small targets. With an input image resolution of $640\times 640$, the scheme's detection speed could meet the real-time requirements of the actual production environment and outperform the related algorithms in terms of performance.
