Attention-Guided Autoencoder Fusion for Insulator Defect Detection Using UAV Transmission-Line Imaging

Read the original on arXiv AI →

arXiv:2606. 06536v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Automated defect detection in high-voltage transmission-line insulators remains challenging due to severe class imbalance, large scale variation, and the small spatial extent of defect instances in Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) imagery.

TEEP-RCNN: Texture-Enhanced Edge-aware Perception for Steel Surface Defect Detection via Improved Convolutional Block Attention in Faster R-CNN

The paper introduces TEEP‑RCNN, a two‑stage detector that augments Faster R‑CNN with a Feature Pyramid Network backbone and an enhanced Convolutional Block Attention Module (CBAM) featuring dropout in the channel attention MLP and batch‑norm in the spatial attention branch. Training employs a differential learning‑rate schedule with cosine‑annealing warm‑up, and inference uses Test‑Time Augmentation combined with Weighted Box Fusion to stabilize localization of elongated and boundary‑adjacent defects. On the NEU‑DET benchmark, TEEP‑RCNN attains 73.3 % mAP@50 and 37.9 % mAP@50‑95 in only ten epochs on a single GPU, matching or surpassing YOLOv11m while excelling on the rolled‑in‑scale defect category under the COCO metric.

From Spatial to Spectral: An Efficient, Frequency-Guided Feature Representation Learner for Small Object Detection

arXiv:2606. 23825v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Efficient small object detection is bottlenecked by the inherent feature scarcity of tiny targets, which is further aggravated by operations of spatial-domain detectors that indiscriminately discard critical high-frequency details.
