arXiv:2606. 13723v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Intersection-over-Union (IoU), as a pivotal metric for evaluating the spatial alignment between candidate proposals and ground-truth annotations, directly determines the quality of positive sample sets and the training efficacy of visual detection models.

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: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.

arXiv:2608. 15090v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Studies of industrial visual inspection commonly report the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) and the overlap between anomaly maps and defect masks.
