Remote sensing images, captured by crafts and satellites, exhibit unique characteristics including complicated backgrounds, limited features, distinct density, and varied scales. The contextual and comprehensive information in an image can make a detector precisely localize and classify targets, which is extremely valuable for object detection in remote sensing scenarios. However, CNNs, restricted by the essence of the convolution operation, possess local receptive fields and scarce contextual information, even in large models. To address this limitation and improve detection performance by extracting global contextual information, we propose a novel plug-and-play attention module, named Convolution with Transformer Attention Module (CTAM). CTAM is composed of a convolutional bottleneck block and a simplified Transformer layer, which can facilitate the integration of local features and position information with long-range dependency. YOLOv8n, a superior and faster variant of the YOLO series, is selected as the baseline. To demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of CTAM, we incorporated CTAM into YOLOv8n and conducted extensive experiments on the DIOR dataset. YOLOv8n-CTAM achieves an impressive 54.2 mAP@50-95, surpassing YOLOv8n (51.4) by a large margin. Notably, it outperforms the baseline by 2.7 mAP@70 and 4.4 mAP@90, showcasing its superiority with stricter IoU thresholds. Furthermore, the experiments conducted on the TGRS-HRRSD dataset validate the excellent generalization ability of CTAM.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs16050906","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,4]],"date-time":"2024-03-04T10:11:57Z","timestamp":1709547117000},"page":"906","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":30,"title":["A Convolution with Transformer Attention Module Integrating Local and Global Features for Object Detection in Remote Sensing Based on YOLOv8n"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Kaiqi","family":"Lang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Airborne Optical Imaging and Measurement, Changchun Institute of Optics, Fine Mechanics and Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Changchun 130033, China"},{"name":"University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jie","family":"Cui","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Airborne Optical Imaging and Measurement, Changchun Institute of Optics, Fine Mechanics and Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Changchun 130033, China"},{"name":"University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mingyu","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Airborne Optical Imaging and Measurement, Changchun Institute of Optics, Fine Mechanics and Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Changchun 130033, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hanyu","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Airborne Optical Imaging and Measurement, Changchun Institute of Optics, Fine Mechanics and Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Changchun 130033, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0008-4257-1211","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zilong","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Airborne Optical Imaging and Measurement, Changchun Institute of Optics, Fine Mechanics and Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Changchun 130033, China"},{"name":"University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8085-9805","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Honghai","family":"Shen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Airborne Optical Imaging and Measurement, Changchun Institute of Optics, Fine Mechanics and Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Changchun 130033, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Dalal, N., and Triggs, B.
