@KavishanSukumar hello! Thanks for reaching out with your question regarding the C2FAttn block in YOLOv8 for low-light condition object detection. It's great to see your interest in exploring the attention mechanisms within our models.
The guide tensor in the C2FAttn block serves as a directional signal for the attention mechanism, helping it to focus on more relevant features within the input data, especially useful in challenging conditions like low light. This is particularly important as it allows the model to dynamically adjust its focus based on the context provided by the guide tensor.
To pass parameters to the guide tensor, you typically need to ensure that the tensor dimensions are compatible with your input data and the C2FAttn block's expected input size. The guide tensor is usually derived from a preprocessing step or an intermediate layer within the network that captures relevant contextual information or features beneficial for the attention mechanism.
For specific implementation details, including how to correctly format and pass the guide tensor to the C2FAttn block, I recommend referring to the documentation and examples provided in our repository. While I can't provide a direct link here, our Ultralytics Docs contain comprehensive guides and tutorials that can help you navigate these advanced features.
