有时候我们进行推理时检测框太多了，通常我们会调整conf值来抑制检测框的出现，但当conf值要求固定时，我们需要加入nms（非极大值抑制）来限制检测框的出现。接下来教大家如何改进添加非极大值抑制(soft-nms)。

首先需要修改损失函数部分

在ultralytics/yolo/utils/ops.py中找到 non_max_suppression 函数，
把原torchvision.ops.nms替换。

注意：在ops.py需要导入soft-nms

from .metrics import box_iou,soft_nms

原torchvision.ops.nms为：

1
i = torchvision.ops.nms(boxes, scores, iou_thres)  # NMS

替换：

1
i = soft_nms(boxes, scores, iou_thres)
