文摘To address the issue of inconsistent image quality and data scarcity in bolt defect detection for transmission lines,this paper proposes an improved sparse region-based convolutional neural network(RCNN) based detection framework integrating image quality evaluation and text-to-image data augmentation.First,a HyperNetwork-based image quality assessment module is introduced to filter low-quality inspection images in terms of clarity and structural integrity,resulting in a high-quality training dataset.Second,a text-to-image diffusion model is utilized for sample augmentation.By designing text prompts that describe various bolt defect types under diverse lighting and viewing conditions,the model automatically generates realistic synthetic samples.The generated images are further filtered using a combination of quality and perceptual similarity metrics to ensure consistency with the real data distribution.Building upon the sparse RCNN baseline,a dynamic label assignment mechanism and a random decision path detection head are incorporated to enhance bounding box matching and prediction accuracy.Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method significantly improves detection accuracy(mAP@0.5) over the original sparse RCNN while maintaining low computational cost,enabling more efficient and intelligent inspection of transmission line components.

文摘Based on inspection data,the authors analyze and summarize the main types and distribution characteristics of tunnel structural defects.These defects are classified into three types:surface defects,internal defects,and defects behind the structure.To address the need for rapid detection of different defect types,the current state of rapid detection technologies and equipment,both domestically and internationally,is systematically reviewed.The research reveals that surface defect detection technologies and equipment have developed rapidly in recent years.Notably,the integration of machine vision and laser scanning technologies have significantly improved detection efficiency and accuracy,achieving crack detection precision of up to 0.1 mm.However,the non-contact rapid detection of internal and behind-the-structure defects remains constrained by hardware limitations,with traditional detection remaining dominant.Nevertheless,phased array radar,ultrasonic,and acoustic vibration detection technologies have become research hotspots in recent years,offering promising directions for detecting these challenging defect types.Additionally,the application of multisensor fusion technology in rapid detection equipment has further enhanced detection capabilities.Devices such as cameras,3D laser scanners,infrared thermal imagers,and radar demonstrate significant advantages in rapid detection.Future research in tunnel inspection should prioritize breakthroughs in rapid detection technologies for internal and behind-the-structure defects.Efforts should also focus on developing multifunctional integrated detection vehicles that can simultaneously inspect both surface and internal structures.Furthermore,progress in fully automated,intelligent systems with precise defect identification and real-time reporting will be essential to significantly improve the efficiency and accuracy of tunnel inspection.

文摘In integrated circuit(IC)manufacturing,fast,nondestructive,and precise detection of defects in patterned wafers,realized by bright-field microscopy,is one of the critical factors for ensuring the final performance and yields of chips.With the critical dimensions of IC nanostructures continuing to shrink,directly imaging or classifying deep-subwavelength defects by bright-field microscopy is challenging due to the well-known diffraction barrier,the weak scattering effect,and the faint correlation between the scattering cross-section and the defect morphology.Herein,we propose an optical far-field inspection method based on the form-birefringence scattering imaging of the defective nanostructure,which can identify and classify various defects without requiring optical super-resolution.The technique is built upon the principle of breaking the optical form birefringence of the original periodic nanostructures by the defect perturbation under the anisotropic illumination modes,such as the orthogonally polarized plane waves,then combined with the high-order difference of far-field images.We validated the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method in detecting deep subwavelength defects through rigid vector imaging modeling and optical detection experiments of various defective nanostructures based on polarization microscopy.On this basis,an intelligent classification algorithm for typical patterned defects based on a dual-channel AlexNet neural network has been proposed,stabilizing the classification accuracy ofλ/16-sized defects with highly similar features at more than 90%.The strong classification capability of the two-channel network on typical patterned defects can be attributed to the high-order difference image and its transverse gradient being used as the network’s input,which highlights the polarization modulation difference between different patterned defects more significantly than conventional bright-field microscopy results.This work will provide a new but easy-to-operate method for detecting and classifying deep-subwavelength defects in patterned wafers or photomasks,which thus endows current online inspection equipment with more missions in advanced IC manufacturing.

文摘Detecting internal defects,particularly voids behind linings,is critical for ensuring the structural integrity of aging high-speed rail(HSR)tunnel networks.While ground-penetrating radar(GPR)is widely employed,systematic quantification of performance boundaries for air-coupled(A-CGPR)and ground-coupled(G-CGPR)systems within the complex electromagnetic environment of multilayer reinforced HSR tunnels remains limited.This study establishes physics-based quantitative performance limits for A-CGPR and G-CGPR through rigorously validated GPRMax finite-difference time-domain(FDTD)simulations and comprehensive field validation over a 300 m operational HSR tunnel section.Key performance metrics were quantified as functions of:(a)detection distance(A-CGPR:2.0–4.5 m;G-CGPR:≤0.1 m),(b)antenna frequency(A-CGPR:300 MHz;G-CGPR:400/900 MHz),(c)reinforcement configuration(unreinforced,single-layer,multilayer rebar),and(d)void geometry(axial length:0.1–1.0 m;radial depth:0.1–0.5 m).Key findings demonstrate:a.A-CGPR(300 MHz):Reliably detects axial voids≥0.3 m at distances≤3 m in minimally reinforced(single-layer rebar)linings(field R2=0.89).Performance degrades significantly at distances>3 m(>60%signal attenuation at 4.5 m)or under multilayer rebar interference,causing 25%–40%accuracy loss for voids<0.3 m.Optimal distance:2.0–2.5 m.b.G-CGPR(900 MHz):Achieves<5%size measurement error for axial voids≥0.1 m and radial voids≥0.2 m in unreinforced linings.Resolution degrades under multilayer reinforcement due to severe signal attenuation,increasing axial void detection error to 10%–20%for voids≥0.3 m and constraining radial size measurement.c.Synergistic Framework:A hybrid inspection protocol is proposed,integrating A-CGPR(20 km/h)for rapid large-area screening and targeted G-CGPR(3 km/h)for high-resolution verification of identified anomalies.This framework enhances NDT efficiency while reducing estimated lifecycle inspection costs by 34%compared to G-CGPR alone.This research provides the first physics-derived quantitative detection thresholds for A-CGPR and G-CGPR in multi-rebar HSR tunnels,validated through field-correlated simulations.Future work will focus on multi-frequency antenna arrays and deep learning algorithms to mitigate reinforcement interference.The established performance boundaries and hybrid framework offer critical guidance for optimizing tunnel lining inspection strategies in extensive HSR networks.
