| Abstract: |
Bushings have a wide range of applications in industry. Once the surface of the bushing is defective, it will affect the assembly between bearings resulting in mechanical inefficiency. At present, due to the different target sizes of the different types of defects on the bushing surface, it is difficult to balance inspection accuracy and speed. This paper proposes lightweight You Only Look Once (YOLO) v7 networks to cope with this problem. In this paper, we use a lightweight network, MobileNetv3, as the backbone network, in which a Residual edges CBAM block (RC-block) is designed to retain feature information while focusing on small-scale targets; finally, we use a bi-directional feature pyramid network (BiFPN) to perform feature fusion to further improve the detection accuracy. The experimental results show that the improved model reduces the Mean Average Precision (mAP) by only 0.7 % compared with the traditional YOLOv7 model, but the detection speed is increased by 29.4 % , and the model volume is reduced by 29.9 % , effectively improves the detection accuracy and speed of all kinds of defects on the surface of the bushings. The improved model was trained under the publicly available dataset NEU-DET, and the results showed the generalisability of the model. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
