A controlled ablation study of CBAM in YOLOv8 and YOLOv9 for multi class weapon detection
Recent YOLO-based object detectors provide a strong accuracy–latency trade-off for security-critical applications, yet it remains unclear whether attention mechanisms consistently improve modern architectures. This paper presents a controlled ablation study of integrating the Convolutional Block Attention Module (CBAM)...
