New framework enhances welding robot seam segmentation with transfer learning · 2 sources tracked

Researchers have developed a new framework to improve seam segmentation for automated welding robots in construction, addressing challenges like harsh lighting and reflections. The approach enhances the BiSeNetV2 model using transfer learning and a hybrid loss function, focusing on learning-stability optimization rather than architectural complexity. This method significantly improves performance, achieving an 81.76% Joint IoU and recovering 96.33% of failure cases under reflective conditions, while maintaining efficiency for real-time applications. AI

IMPACT Improves perception capabilities for robotic welding, potentially increasing automation and precision in construction.
