Researchers have developed XCT-SAM, a novel framework for segmenting defects in industrial X-ray computed tomography (XCT) images. This method addresses challenges like class imbalance and domain shifts by employing a sequential parameter-efficient adaptation strategy. XCT-SAM first fine-tunes adapters on an alloy-microstructure dataset before transferring to XCT data, progressively bridging the domain gap. The framework utilizes Conv-LoRA adapters to inject spatial inductive bias while keeping most of the model frozen, demonstrating superior performance on out-of-distribution benchmarks and real-world scans.
