Automatic weld seam segmentation for industrial quality control: a comparison of RGB and polarimetric imaging with CNN and transformer architectures

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.

Explainable Temporal Attention-based Defect Detection For Fillet Joints in Real-Time Gas Metal Arc Welding Based on Multi-modal Data

The paper presents a multi‑modal deep learning model that uses temporal attention to detect internal welding defects such as porosity, lack of penetration, fusion, undercut, and cold lap in fillet joints during real‑time Gas Metal Arc Welding. Trained on images and sound data from an industrial collaborative welding robot, the model achieves an F1 score of 0.99. Explainable AI techniques are applied to interpret the model’s behavior, highlighting key image and sound spectrogram regions and the most effective modality for each defect type, thereby enhancing trust and reliability in AI‑driven welding inspection.
