HSP-YOLOv8: UAV Aerial Photography

Uses Space-to-Depth Convolution (SPD-Conv) and Soft-NMS for improving small object detection on UAVs. Module for SPD-Conv already included in ultralytics called Focus if you want to try playing around with it. We don’t have an implementation of Soft-NMS (yet) but maybe it will be added sometime in the near future :thonking:.
