Abstract

In the manufacturing process of hot-rolled steel strips, various mechanical forces, and environmental conditions can cause surface defects, making their detection crucial for ensuring high-quality product production and preventing significant economic losses in the industry. However, existing models within the you only look once (YOLO) family, commonly employed for steel surface defect detection, have exhibited limited effectiveness. In this article, we propose an improved version of YOLO, namely, YOLO enhanced by a convolution squeeze-and-excitation (CSE) module, Conv2d-BatchNorm-SiLU (CBS) with Swin transformer (CST) module, and adaptive spatial feature fusion (ASFF) detection head module, i.e., SSA-YOLO, specifically tailored for end-to-end surface defect detection. Our approach incorporates several key modifications aimed at improving performance. First, we integrate a channel attention mechanism module into the shallow convolutional network module of the backbone. This enhancement focuses on channel information to improve feature extraction related to small defects while reducing redundant information in candidate boxes. In addition, we fuse a Swin transformer (Swin-T) module into the neck to enhance feature representation for detecting diverse and multiscale defects. Finally, the ASFF is introduced in YOLO to increase cross-interaction between high and low levels in the feature pyramid network (FPN). Experimental results demonstrate the superior performance and effectiveness of our SSA-YOLO model compared to other state-of-the-art models. Our approach achieves higher accuracy and sensitivity in detecting surface defects, offering significant advancements in steel strip production quality control.

SSA-YOLO:用于热轧带钢表面缺陷检测的改进型 YOLO
在热轧带钢的生产过程中,各种机械力和环境条件都可能导致表面缺陷,因此,检测这些缺陷对于确保高质量的产品生产和避免行业的重大经济损失至关重要。然而,目前常用于钢材表面缺陷检测的 "只看一次(YOLO)"系列模型效果有限。在本文中,我们提出了 YOLO 的改进版本,即通过卷积挤压激发(CSE)模块、带斯温变换器(CST)模块的 Conv2d-BatchNorm-SiLU (CBS) 和自适应空间特征融合(ASFF)检测头模块(即 SSA-YOLO)增强的 YOLO,专门用于端到端表面缺陷检测。我们的方法包含几项旨在提高性能的关键修改。首先,我们在骨干网的浅层卷积网络模块中集成了信道关注机制模块。这一改进侧重于通道信息,以改进与小缺陷相关的特征提取,同时减少候选盒中的冗余信息。此外,我们还在颈部融合了斯温变换器(Swin-T)模块,以增强检测多样化和多尺度缺陷的特征表示。最后,我们在 YOLO 中引入了 ASFF,以增加特征金字塔网络(FPN)中高低层次之间的交叉互动。实验结果表明,与其他最先进的模型相比,我们的 SSA-YOLO 模型性能优越、效果显著。我们的方法在检测表面缺陷方面实现了更高的准确性和灵敏度,在钢带生产质量控制方面取得了显著进步。代码见 https://github.com/MIPIT-Team/SSA-YOLO。
