Validation-uided Lightweight Attention for Small Chip Surface Defect Detection

· 0 citations · 6 references

TL;DR

These results show that targeted attention can improve moderate-overlap detection without the cost of an additional high-resolution head, but they also expose unresolved localization, source-domain, and false-accept limitations.

DAF-YOLO for detecting small defects with weak visual features on chip surfaces

The proposed DAF-YOLO model, an enhanced YOLO11 model for detecting small defects with weak visual features on chip surfaces, incorporates a dual-pooling channel-spatial attention module (DPCSA) to strengthen salient responses in small-defect regions and suppress interference from complex background textures.

Asymmetric CNN–ViT Residual Fusion for Industrial Surface Defect Detection

Industrial surface inspection must localize defects when annotated data are limited. We present Asymmetric CNN–ViT Residual Fusion (ACVRF), in which a convolutional neural network (CNN) generates proposals and primary region-of-interest features, while a Vision Transformer (ViT) supplies a residual with a bounded mixin...

SHNet: A Lightweight Network Focusing on Shallow High-Resolution Features for PCB Defect Detection

Automatic defect detection for printed circuit boards (PCBs) is crucial for manufacturing quality and reliability, yet remains challenging due to tiny defect sizes, low visual contrast, and deployment constraints. We propose SHNet, a lightweight YOLOv8s-based detector that emphasizes shallow high-resolution representat...

PSDW-YOLO: a pixel-preserving shallow-deformable network for steel surface defect detection

Steel surface defects directly affect product quality, structural reliability, and downstream manufacturing safety. Although YOLO-based detectors provide high inference speed, steel surface defect detection remains challenging because many defects in the NEU-DET dataset are small, low-contrast, irregularly shaped, and...
