Detection-Guided Feature Feedback (DGFF) Module
================================================
The DGFF module is the core architectural contribution of this thesis.
During training it:
1. Hooks into the YOLOv8 backbone to extract intermediate feature maps
at P4 (stride-16) and P5 (stride-32) β the semantically richest layers.
2. Projects each feature map to match the channel depth of the corresponding
LLEN decoder stage via lightweight 1Γ1 convolutional adapters.
3. Returns the projected tensors so LLEN.forward() can inject them via
element-wise addition at decoder stages D4 and D3.
At inference the DGFF module is NOT used β LLEN runs alone with no overhead.
YOLOv8n backbone channel dimensions (verified for 640Γ640 input):
P4: (B, 256, H/16, W/16) stride-16, semantically rich
P5: (B, 512, H/32, W/32) stride-32, most semantic
LLEN decoder injection targets:
dec4 output: (B, 128, H/8, W/8) β receives projected P5
dec3 output: (B, 64, H/4, W/4) β receives projected P4

Usage:
from dgff import DGFFModule
dgff = DGFFModule()
# During joint training forward pass:
enhanced = llen(low_img) # first pass: no feedback
dgff_p4, dgff_p5 = dgff(enhanced) # extract + project features
enhanced = llen(low_img, dgff_p5, dgff_p4) # second pass: with feedback
loss = detection_loss + l1_loss(enhanced, high_img)
loss.backward()
"""
"""
dgff_v2.py β DGFF Module with Channel Gating
=============================================
Improvement over v1: 1Γ1 adapter + sigmoid gate replaces plain
element-wise addition. The gate learns which detector channels
to incorporate per-spatial-location, making the feedback selective
and more theoretically principled.
Change from v1:
v1: x_decoder = x_decoder + adapter(f_det)
v2: gate = sigmoid(gate_conv(f_det))
x_decoder = x_decoder + gate * adapter(f_det)
The gate suppresses irrelevant detector features (e.g. background
texture channels that don't help enhancement) while amplifying
object-boundary and semantic channels.
