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Defect detection based on computer vision is a critical component in ensuring the quality of industrial products.However,existing detection methods encounter several challenges in practical applications,including the scarcity of labeled samples,limited adaptability of pre-trained models,and the data heterogeneity in distributed environments.To address these issues,this research proposes an unsupervised defect detection method,FLAME(Federated Learning with Adaptive Multi-Model Embeddings).The method comprises three stages:(1)Feature learning stage:this work proposes FADE(Feature-Adaptive Domain-Specific Embeddings),a framework employs Gaussian noise injection to simulate defective patterns and implements a feature discriminator for defect detection,thereby enhancing the pre-trained model’s industrial imagery representation capabilities.(2)Knowledge distillation co-training stage:a multi-model feature knowledge distillation mechanism is introduced.Through feature-level knowledge transfer between the global model and historical local models,the current local model is guided to learn better feature representations from the global model.The approach prevents local models from converging to local optima and mitigates performance degradation caused by data heterogeneity.(3)Model parameter aggregation stage:participating clients utilize weighted averaging aggregation to synthesize an updated global model,facilitating efficient knowledge consolidation.Experimental results demonstrate that FADE improves the average image-level Area under the Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve(AUROC)by 7.34%compared to methods directly utilizing pre-trained models.In federated learning environments,FLAME’s multi-model feature knowledge distillation mechanism outperforms the classic FedAvg algorithm by 2.34%in average image-level AUROC,while exhibiting superior convergence properties.

文摘High-performance lattice structures produced through powder bed fusion-laser beam exhibit high specific strength and energy absorption capabilities.However,a significant deviation exists between the mechanical properties,service life of lattice structures,and design expectations.This deviation arises from the intense interaction between the laser and powder,which leads to the formation of numerous defects within the lattice structure.To address these issues,this paper proposes a high-performance defect detection model for metal lattice structures based on YOLOv4,called YOLO-Lattice(YOLO-L).The main objectives of this paper are as follows:(1)utilize computed tomography to construct datasets of the diamond lattice and body-centered cubic lattice structures;(2)in the backbone network of YOLOv4,employ deformable convolution to enhance the feature extraction capability of the model for small-scale defects;(3)adopt a dual-attention mechanism to suppress invalid feature information and amplify the distinction between defect and background regions;and(4)implement a channel pruning strategy to eliminate channels carrying less feature information,thereby improving the inference speed of the model.The experimental results on the diamond lattice structure dataset demonstrate that the mean average precision of the YOLO-L model increased from 96.98% to 98.8%(with an intersection over union of 0.5),and the inference speed decreased from 51.3 ms to 32.5 ms when compared to YOLOv4.Thus,the YOLO-L model can be effectively used to detect defects in metal lattice structures.

文摘Detecting surface defects on unused rails is crucial for evaluating rail quality and durability to ensure the safety of rail transportation.However,existing detection methods often struggle with challenges such as complex defect morphology,texture similarity,and fuzzy edges,leading to poor accuracy and missed detections.In order to resolve these problems,we propose MSCM-Net(Multi-Scale Cross-Modal Network),a multiscale cross-modal framework focused on detecting rail surface defects.MSCM-Net introduces an attention mechanism to dynamically weight the fusion of RGB and depth maps,effectively capturing and enhancing features at different scales for each modality.To further enrich feature representation and improve edge detection in blurred areas,we propose a multi-scale void fusion module that integrates multi-scale feature information.To improve cross-modal feature fusion,we develop a cross-enhanced fusion module that transfers fused features between layers to incorporate interlayer information.We also introduce a multimodal feature integration module,which merges modality-specific features from separate decoders into a shared decoder,enhancing detection by leveraging richer complementary information.Finally,we validate MSCM-Net on the NEU RSDDS-AUG RGB-depth dataset,comparing it against 12 leading methods,and the results show that MSCM-Net achieves superior performance on all metrics.
