SPDCN: Strip-based Deformable Convolutional Network for Steel Surface Defect Segmentation

Read the original on Hugging Face Trending Papers →

Steel surface defect segmentation is critical for industrial quality inspection, yet existing methods struggle with elongated, anisotropic defects such as cracks and scratches due to the isotropic receptive fields of standard convolutions and rigid sampling grids that cannot adapt to irregular defect boundaries. To address these limitations, we propose Strip-based Predictor for Deformable Convolutional Networks (SPDCN) with two key innovations.

Morphology-Aware Sample Assignment: Overcoming IoU Insensitivity for Surface Defect Detection

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.
