Aviation Rivet Classification and Anomaly Detection Based on Deep Learning by Xiao-bo Zhu

“…The results show that (1) the algorithm proposed in this paper can realize the classification of aviation rivets and the detection of abnormal conditions, the confidence of the detection results is more than 90%, and the average precision, recall, and AP value are above 95%, 85%, and 88%, respectively. (2) The order of rivet classification and abnormal detection effect from good to bad is Philips screws, round head rivets, flat head rivets, countersunk head rivets, blind rivets, and abnormal condition. (3) Compared with other algorithms, the aviation rivet classification abnormal target detection based on deep learning has absolute advantages in accuracy and speed.…”
