New geometry augmentation boosts few-shot industrial defect detection

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

This paper introduces Rough Path Signature-Guided Geometry Augmentation (RPS-GA), a novel method to improve few-shot industrial defect detection. RPS-GA treats Canny edge contours as ordered paths and uses their signature responses to create a spatial map highlighting boundary structures. When tested with an unmodified YOLOv8n detector on the NEU-DET and PCB-Defect datasets, RPS-GA significantly boosted performance, especially with limited labeled data. AI

IMPACT This research offers a new technique to improve few-shot learning for industrial defect detection, potentially reducing the need for large labeled datasets in manufacturing.

    Rough Path Signature-Guided Geometry Augmentation for Few-Shot Industrial Surface Defect Detection

    Few-shot industrial defect detection remains difficult for standard supervised detectors, which achieve poor performance on boundary-dominated industrial defects. This paper proposes rough path signature-guided geometry augmentation (RPS-GA), a geometry-aware approach in which Ca…
