Abstract

Surface detection of small defects plays a vital role in manufacturing and has attracted broad interest. It remains challenging primarily due to the small size of the defect relative to the large surface and the rare occurrence of defects. To address this problem, in this article we propose a novel machine vision approach for automatically identifying the tiny flaws that may appear in a single image. First, the presented defect exaggeration approach produces both the flawless image and the corresponding exaggerated version of the defect by taking the variations in the image as regularization terms. Second, a generative adversarial network (GAN) in conjunction with a convolutional neural network (CNN) is proposed to guarantee the accuracy of tiny surface defect detection by producing exaggerated defect image samples. Furthermore, the limited dataset of the training samples for defect detection is enlarged by exploiting the GAN technique with the variation exaggerated images. To evaluate the performance of our proposed method, we conduct comparison experiments between the state-of-the-art techniques with and without the proposed algorithm as well as comparison experiments between the state-of-the-art techniques and our method. The experimental results on different types of surface image samples demonstrate that the proposed method can significantly improve the performance of the state-of-the-art approaches while achieving a defect detection accuracy of 99.2%.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
