The paper introduces YOLOEZ, a no-code, GUI-based tool that streamlines the entire YOLO model workflow—data labeling, training, and inference—for automated structural defect detection. It demonstrates that YOLOEZ outperforms traditional image‑processing methods across most detection metrics while simplifying deployment for users without programming expertise. The tool aims to lower technical barriers in structural health monitoring, enabling broader adoption of AI-driven inspection for predictive maintenance and intelligent structural systems.
arXiv:2608. 07770v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Automated anomaly detection methods often report strong performance on curated academic benchmarks, but their behavior under real-world industrial conditions is less clear.
arXiv:2606. 01023v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Visual inspection remains the dominant quality-control practice in woven and tufted carpet production, yet it is slow, subjective, and inconsistent at the line speeds and widths of modern looms.
arXiv:2610.08822v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Ageing bridge infrastructure is a growing global concern, yet conventional Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) systems are costly and difficult to scale...
The paper introduces a region‑aware dual‑model inspection framework that uses instance segmentation for seat‑region defects and image‑level classification for shaft‑region anomalies, followed by a deterministic decision fusion layer that applies industrial SOPs to produce a final component‑level decision. In experiments on 380 automotive fuel injector needles, the fusion layer maintained 100% recall of non‑conforming parts while reducing the false‑rejection rate from 57.6% to 10.9%, an 81.1% drop in false positives. The study shows that formalizing acceptance criteria can translate sensitive visual detections into practical, traceable decisions for precision component inspection.
Automated optical inspection of precision components with tiny surface defects remains challenging when different regions of the same component exhibit different defect characteristics and, therefore,...
