Article Synopsis
- Accurate identification of Mycobacterium tuberculosis is crucial for diagnosing tuberculosis, but existing detection methods struggle due to the bacteria's varied shapes and sizes in sputum smear images.
- An improved YOLOv8s model has been developed, featuring an additional detection head for small target focus, a multi-scale feature fusion module for size adaptability, and enhancements in semantic feature extraction through a new convolutional layer and self-attention mechanism.
- The model achieved an impressive average precision of 85.7% when tested on a public dataset, showcasing its effectiveness in accurately detecting M. tuberculosis.
