Real-time system for automatic cold strip surface defect detection
Open accessAbstract
Real-Time System for Automatic Cold Strip Surface Defect DetectionDetection and classification of surface defects of the rolled metal are one of the main tasks for correctly assessing product quality.Historically, these tasks were performed by a human.However, due to a multitude of production factors, such as high rolling rate and temperature of the metal, the results of such human work are rather low.Replacing a human controller with an artificial intelligence system has been relevant for a long time; it is merely necessary within the concept of Industry 4.0.This paper is devoted to the development of the prototype system automatic detection and classification of defects for one of the Iron-and-Steel Works of the Chelyabinsk region in the Russian Federation.The prototype consists of the Preprocessor, Classifier, Server, Database, and User interface.The main focus is on achieving high classification accuracy, which is planned to be obtained through the use of convolutional neural networks.

TL;DR
The paper describes a prototype Automatic Defect Recognition System (ADRS) for rolled-metal surface defects, composed of preprocessing, classification, server, database, and operator-interface modules. Its CNN classifier reports 98.1% accuracy on six defect classes from the Northeastern University surface defect database.
Key findings
- The prototype’s current model achieved 98.1% accuracy on test data with 6 classes of defects, with an execution time of 2.1 ms and input dimensions 200x200x3.
- The classifier was based on an improved LeNet-5 topology using ReLU, dropout, Adam, and categorical cross-entropy; training used the Northeastern University surface defect database with 1800 marked images, 200x200 each, and 300 images per class across six defect types.
- For hardware sizing, the paper assumes a minimum visible defect size of 0.5 mm, minimum defect pixels of 3, strip width 1650 mm, strip speed 7 m/s, and 5% image overlap.
- In a comparison table, the current model’s 98.1% accuracy is reported alongside 99% for Yi et al. (7 classes), 88% for Guifang Wu (4 classes), and 90% for Masci (7 classes).
Methods
- The ADRS prototype includes a Preprocessor, Classifier, Server, Database, and User interface; the preprocessor acquires images, splits them into parts, finds regions of interest, and sends defect-containing parts to classification.
- Defect detection uses grayscale images, Sobel filtering along both axes, binary thresholding, morphological opening and closing, and contour filtering by area relative to the minimum possible defect area.
- Classification uses a Keras/TensorFlow CNN with LeNet-5 as a basis, data augmentation via Keras ImageDataGenerator, Z-score normalization, dropout 0.5, Adam optimizer, and categorical cross-entropy; experiments were run on an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti.
Limitations
- Stated: the dataset of 1800 marked images is described as insufficient for high prediction accuracy, so augmentation was used to prevent overfitting; the paper also says work is underway to collect and augment a training set to further improve classification.
- Evident: the computational experiments use the public Northeastern University surface defect database and a laboratory test-bed with two static cameras, not the target Chelyabinsk-region production line.
- Evident: the paper reports classification accuracy and execution time but does not report false-positive/false-negative rates, real-time throughput, or deployment validation on the actual rolling line; the title refers to cold strip, while the experiments are described as using hot rolled metal surfaces.

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.
Claims read by deepseek-v4.1-flash under definition version 3 (extract-v3) on 2026-10-10.
Classified by jev-1.13-20260917 (gold-guideline-v0.2) on 2026-10-10.
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.
