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.
To meet the practical needs of detecting various defects on the pointer surface and solve the difficulty of detecting some defects on the pointer surface, this paper proposes a transfer learning and improved Cascade-RCNN deep neural network (TICNET) algorithm for detecting pointer defects. Firstly, the convolutional layers of ResNet-50 are reconstructed by deformable convolution, which enhances the learning of pointer surface defects by feature extraction network. Furthermore, the problems of missing detection caused by internal differences and weak features are effectively solved. Secondly, the idea of online hard example mining (OHEM) is used to improve the Cascade-RCNN detection network, which achieve accurate classification of defects. Finally, based on the fact that common pointer defect dataset and pointer defect dataset established in this paper have the same low-level visual characteristics. The network is pre-trained on the common defect dataset, and weights are transferred to the defect dataset established in this paper, which reduces the training difficulty caused by too few data. The experimental results show that the proposed method achieves a 0.933 detection rate and a 0.873 mean average precision when the threshold of intersection over union is 0.5, and it realizes high precision detection of pointer surface defects.
