An effective industrial defect classification method under the few-shot setting via two-stream training

Yanlong Cao et al.

Summary: Visual surface defect inspection is important for assessing product quality in various industrial applications, but it remains challenging to develop deep-learning-based approaches for industrial product defect inspection. To overcome this challenge, we propose a light-weight defect classification model based on pre-trained SqueezeNet architecture and introduce three effective techniques to achieve high accuracy with limited defective training samples. Experimental results validate the effectiveness of our method.

Defect classification for specular surfaces based on deflectometry and multi-modal fusion network

Jingtian Guan et al.

Summary: Automated defect inspection for specular surfaces is challenging due to their reflection property. Deflectometry has been widely used in defect detection by capturing fringe patterns. Traditional methods require hand-crafted features, but this study proposes a deep-learning-based approach using a benchmark dataset named SpecularDefect9. By combining light intensity contrast map and captured fringe pattern, a fusion network accurately classifies different defects.

Real-time and accurate defect segmentation of aluminum strip surface via a lightweight network

Zehua Lv et al.

Summary: On the premise of ensuring the defect segmentation precision of aluminum strip surfaces, a lightweight and efficient network is proposed for real-time defect segmentation. The network utilizes the lightweight GhostNet with a proposed dilation attention mechanism for multi-scale feature extraction. It also incorporates a lightweight fusion node and a novel boundary refinement block for efficient integration of features and improved localization ability. Experimental results show that the proposed network achieves a mean intersection over union of 85.51%, a speed of 68.86 fps, and a model volume of 9.38 MB. This network provides a good trade-off between segmentation speed and accuracy for aluminum strip surfaces, making it suitable for real-time segmentation on embedded systems.
