The paper introduces an AI-based visual inspection system for garment sewing-line quality control, employing Convolutional Neural Networks to detect defects such as broken and skipped stitches. The system was trained on black fabric and thread, and tested on various colors, successfully detecting jump defects on black, red, and dark green fabrics but showing limitations on broken defects and fabrics with markedly different visual characteristics. The study highlights that model accuracy depends heavily on training data diversity and the system’s ability to generalize across different fabric and thread colors.
arXiv:2606. 01023v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Visual inspection remains the dominant quality-control practice in woven and tufted carpet production, yet it is slow, subjective, and inconsistent at the line speeds and widths of modern looms.
arXiv:2606. 10699v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In the production process of network cables, ensuring the correct color sequence of wire pairs inside the standard connector plays a critical role in the final performance of the cable, as any misplacement or color-ordering error can lead to defective products and impose significant costs.
arXiv:2608. 13937v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Smart manufacturing processes are often installed with a large number of sensors, imaging devices and computers, which not only enable instant communication across various modules of a production system but also aid in intelligent manufacturing management.
arXiv:2607. 21577v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Quality control in printing, particularly in rotogravure printing, still depends on slow, costly, and subjective manual inspection.
The paper introduces YOLOEZ, a no-code, GUI-based tool that streamlines the entire YOLO model workflow—data labeling, training, and inference—for automated structural defect detection. It demonstrates that YOLOEZ outperforms traditional image‑processing methods across most detection metrics while simplifying deployment for users without programming expertise. The tool aims to lower technical barriers in structural health monitoring, enabling broader adoption of AI-driven inspection for predictive maintenance and intelligent structural systems.

The study evaluates automatic weld seam segmentation using RGB and polarimetric images, comparing convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and transformer architectures. In controlled RGB settings, CNNs achieve a mean mask mAP50 of up to 0.87, but performance drops significantly under uncontrolled conditions. Polarimetric imaging, combined with geometric augmentation, reaches a mean mask mAP50 of up to 093 even in uncontrolled settings, and transformer models, especially RF‑DETR, maintain high accuracy under viewpoint shifts while CNNs fail.
MMTryon is a multi‑modal, multi‑reference virtual try‑on framework that generates high‑quality compositional try‑on results using text instructions and multiple garment images. It addresses three overlooked problems: supporting multiple try‑on items, allowing dressing style specification via text, and eliminating reliance on segmentation models by using a parsing‑free garment encoder and a scalable data generation pipeline. Experiments on high‑resolution benchmarks and in‑the‑wild test sets show MMTryon outperforms state‑of‑the‑art methods qualitatively and quantitatively.
The paper introduces ISP-AD, the largest publicly available industrial anomaly detection dataset, featuring both synthetic and real defects from a factory floor. It focuses on challenging, small, weakly contrasted surface defects within highly variable structured patterns, addressing the bias of existing datasets toward ideal imaging conditions. Experiments demonstrate that even a small amount of weakly labeled real defects improves model generalization and that synthetic defects can serve as a useful cold‑start baseline for scalable training.
