Researchers have developed CF-YOLO, a novel real-time detection framework designed to improve the accuracy of identifying small, camouflaged defects in industrial components like copper tubes. The system integrates a Context-Perception Aggregation Module (CPAM) for better perception of macro-texture and boundary delineation, and a Feature Additive Refinement Module (FARM) for global verification and refinement of anomaly representations. To support further research, the team also introduced the Copper Tube Defect Dataset (CTDD), a benchmark with nearly 2,000 images and over 4,800 defect instances. Experiments show CF-YOLO outperforms existing detectors, including YOLOv11, in key metrics while maintaining real-time inference speeds. AI
