The paper introduces an end‑to‑end automated pipeline that generates controllable crack data for deep‑learning inspection. It uses procedurally sampled Bézier‑curve skeletons converted into realistic crack masks via a GAN, and a dual‑ControlNet diffusion model that separates appearance from geometry while enforcing boundary consistency. The method supports both background‑free synthesis and context‑aware inpainting, and shows improved performance over existing augmentation baselines on CRACK500 and CrackTree200 datasets.
arXiv:2606. 02434v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Precise parametric control over circuit geometry is essential for semiconductor inspection, yet obtaining sufficient real training data remains costly.
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.

arXiv:2607. 27065v2 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While automated defect detection such as the detection of surface scratched is an important aspect in industrial quality control, the scarcity of annotated defect data make this task challenging.
The paper introduces the Real‑Calibrated Synthetic‑First Data Engine, a modular pipeline that integrates controllable diffusion‑based synthetic image generation with multi‑stage curation, filtering, and optional uncertainty‑driven selection and human verification. Designed as a CLI‑based framework, it allows independent configuration of generation, filtering, selection, and validation modules to enhance reproducibility and flexibility in real‑world data workflows. Empirical tests on human pose estimation demonstrate that synthetic data can boost a real‑data baseline when used as low‑cost augmentation, though synthetic‑only training still lags behind real‑only performance, underscoring the importance of data‑centric orchestration in low‑data regimes.
