SynSur: An end-to-end generative pipeline for synthetic industrial surface defect generation and detection

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.

CF-YOLO: Context-Aware Feature Refinement for Camouflaged Industrial Micro-Defect Detection

CF-YOLO introduces a real‑time detection framework for camouflaged micro‑defects on industrial components, combining a Context‑Perception Aggregation Module (CPAM) that fuses large‑kernel macro‑texture cues with small‑kernel boundary details, and a Feature Additive Refinement Module (FARM) that globally refines fine‑grained anomaly representations. The authors also release the Copper Tube Defect Dataset (CTDD), a benchmark of 1,847 images with 4,898 annotated defect boxes. Experiments show CF‑YOLO outperforms baseline detectors such as YOLOv11 by 2.2% in mAP@50 and 3.9% in Precision while preserving real‑time speed.

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.

LUMIN: Lightweight Universal Manufacturing Inspection Network for Anomaly Detection

The paper introduces LUMIN, a lightweight network for manufacturing anomaly detection, and PSP, a four‑stage adaptive memory bank sampling pipeline that eliminates backbone forward passes. PSP achieves near‑random construction speed, 341× faster than FPS, while parallel similarity computation and stratified pixel sampling cut inference time by 20× with minimal accuracy loss. Experiments on five benchmarks show that LUMIN and PSP reach state‑of‑the‑art sampling accuracy with dramatically reduced latency and memory usage.
