Steel defects are a frequent problem in steel companies. Proper quality control can reduce quality problems arising from steel defects. Nowadays, steel defects can detect by automation methods that utilize certain algorithms. Deep learning can help the steel defect detection algorithm become more sophisticated. In this study, we use deep learning CNN with Xception architecture to detect steel defects from images taken from high-frequency and high-resolution cameras. There are two techniques used, and both produce respectively 0.94% and 0.85% accuracy. The Xception architecture used in this case shows optimal and stable performance in the process and its results.

Surface Defect Detection

In recent years, more and more scholars devoted themselves to the research of the target detection algorithm due to the continuous development of deep learning. Among them, the detection and recognition of small and complex targets are still a problem to be solved. The authors of this article have understood the shortcomings of the deep learning detection algorithm in detecting small and complex defect targets and would like to share a new improved target detection algorithm in steel surface defect detection. The steel surface defects will affect the quality of steel seriously. We find that most of the current detection algorithms for NEU-DET dataset detection accuracy are low, so we choose to verify a steel surface defect detection algorithm based on machine vision on this dataset for the problem of defect detection in steel production. A series of improvement measures are carried out in the traditional Faster R-CNN algorithm, such as reconstructing the network structure of Faster R-CNN. Based on the small features of the target, we train the network with multiscale fusion. For the complex features of the target, we replace part of the conventional convolution network with a deformable convolution network. The experimental results show that the deep learning network model trained by the proposed method has good detection performance, and the mean average precision is 0.752, which is 0.128 higher than the original algorithm. Among them, the average precision of crazing, inclusion, patches, pitted surface, rolled in scale and scratches is 0.501, 0.791, 0.792, 0.874, 0.649, and 0.905, respectively. The detection method is able to identify small target defects on the steel surface effectively, which can provide a reference for the automatic detection of steel defects.

Surface defects in manufacturing are top challenges in various manufacturing field including LED manufacturing, die manufacturing and printing industry. Quality control through automated surface defect detection has been an emphasis to speed up the production without jeopardizing the quality of the product. However, complexity and flexibility in product design, specification and dataset availability posted challenges in existing referential-based algorithm. Golden template-based algorithms are sensitive to misalignment and product variations. Deep learning and its variant can be used as non-linear filter to segment anomalies area. However, deep learning requires huge labelled database and consume long learning time. Similarly, maximum likelihood-based algorithms require large database for learning. This research proposes a novel histogram distance based multiple templates anomalies detection (MTAD) algorithm to segment surface defect. Histogram distance based on kernel-wise histograms stacked across illumination normalized database of similar size can describe the degree of anomaly intuitively across the image. Then, surface defect can be justified intuitively according to anomaly heat map generated. The algorithm is tested against industrial samples and it can handle texture and design variation existed in the product while catching anomaly in real time. This research suggests future studies on extending dimensionality of the histogram. Suggested algorithm has wide range of application other than surface defect detection. For examples, video motion detection, decolorization detection on industrial lighting.

The Mean

The existing seal ring surface defect detection methods for aerospace applications have the problems of low detection efficiency, strong specificity, large fine-grained classification errors, and unstable detection results. Considering these problems, a fine-grained seal ring surface defect detection algorithm for aerospace applications is proposed. Based on analysis of the stacking process of standard convolution, heat maps of original pixels in the receptive field participating in the convolution operation are quantified and generated. According to the generated heat map, the feature extraction optimization method of convolution combinations with different dilation rates is proposed, and an efficient convolution feature extraction network containing three kinds of dilated convolutions is designed. Combined with the O-ring surface defect features, a multiscale defect detection network is designed. Before the head of multiscale classification and position regression, feature fusion tree modules are added to ensure the reuse and compression of the responsive features of different receptive fields on the same scale feature maps. Experimental results show that on the O-rings-3000 testing dataset, the mean condition accuracy of the proposed algorithm reaches 95.10% for 5 types of surface defects of aerospace O-rings. Compared with RefineDet, the mean condition accuracy of the proposed algorithm is only reduced by 1.79%, while the parameters and FLOPs are reduced by 35.29% and 64.90%, respectively. Moreover, the proposed algorithm has good adaptability to image blur and light changes caused by the cutting of imaging hardware, thus saving the cost.
