DeFRCN-MAM: DeFRCN and multi-scale attention mechanism-based industrial defect detection method by Tong Zheng, Liangbing Sa, Chongchong Yu, Aibin Song

“…To adapt to the invisible characteristics of defects, we introduce the Feature Pyramid Network (FPN) and Residual Attention Module (RAM) into DeFRCN, which can enhance the capture ability of multi-scale features and feature association information. Furthermore, the feature representation ability is strengthened by parallel connecting of two channels, consisting of R-CNN head, box classifier and box regression models. …”
