AI generates substation meter defect images with limited data

A research paper proposes a novel framework to generate realistic defect images for substation meters, addressing the challenge of limited annotated samples. The method integrates Knowledge Embedding and Hypernetwork-Guided Conditional Control into a Stable Diffusion pipeline. It fine-tunes Stable Diffusion using DreamBooth-style knowledge embedding to encode meter characteristics and introduces a geometric crack modeling module for precise control over defect attributes. A lightweight hypernetwork then modulates the diffusion process to balance fidelity and controllability, significantly outperforming existing methods in experiments. AI

IMPACT Enables more robust AI-powered industrial inspection systems by overcoming data scarcity for defect detection.
