Description
Summary:In recent years, achieving high-precision and high-speed target detection of surface defects on aluminum profiles to meet the requirements of industrial applications has been challenging. In this paper, the GEB-YOLO is proposed based on the YOLOv7 algorithm. First, the global attention mechanism (GAM) is introduced, highlighting defect features. Second, the Explicit Visual Center Block (EVCBlock) is integrated into the network for key information extraction. Meanwhile, the BiFPN network structure is adopted to enhance feature fusion. The ablation experiments have demonstrated that the defect detection accuracy of the GEB-YOLO model is improved by 6.3%, and the speed is increased by 15% compared to the YOLOv7 model.
