arXiv:2606. 06375v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Digital twins (DTs) allow the digitalization of road infrastructure inspection, though this is hindered by limited annotated data.
arXiv:2606. 20742v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: UAV-based pavement inspection can reduce the cost and risk of road-surface monitoring, but real-world deployment remains difficult when traffic, pedestrians, and temporary occlusions affect defect visibility.
arXiv:2608. 07770v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Automated anomaly detection methods often report strong performance on curated academic benchmarks, but their behavior under real-world industrial conditions is less clear.
Filtering noise is a fundamental part of data preparation that enhances image quality for applications such as object segmentation, detection, and recognition. Various noise reduction techniques are proposed in the literature, including the use of median, Gaussian, and bilateral filters.
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.
This paper presents the IEEE International Conference on Multimedia and Expo (ICME) 2026 Grand Challenge on Cross-Scenario Defect Detection and Fine-Grained Severity Grading for High-Precision Manufacturing. The challenge is motivated by two key limitations of existing industrial defect inspection systems: (1) current deep learning-based methods often suffer significant performance degradation when deployed in unseen production scenarios, and (2) most benchmarks neglect severity-aware assessment, which is critical for risk control and yield optimization.
arXiv:2607. 12245v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Few-shot industrial defect detection remains difficult for standard supervised detectors, which achieve poor performance on boundary-dominated industrial defects.
Applying deep learning to instance-aware reidentification of slate tiles and extraction site classification can improve production efficiency and quality control in the slate tile industry. These tasks are particularly important for handling natural materials where visual variability can make manual inspection costly and error-prone.
arXiv:2606. 20323v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Deep Transfer Learning (DTL) allows for the efficient building of Intelligent Fault Diagnosis Systems (IFDS).
arXiv:2510. 25573v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Machine learning approaches for image classification have led to impressive advances in that field.
arXiv:2604. 26633v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Industrial surface defect inspection suffers from a fundamental data bottleneck: defects are rare, annotations require expert knowledge, and collecting balanced training sets is slow and costly.
arXiv:2606. 01973v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Open-set test-time adaptation (TTA) updates models on new data in the presence of input shifts and unknown output classes.
arXiv:2606. 17403v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Rapid assessment of building damage from satellite imagery is essential for effective disaster response and recovery.
