Localization and Pixel-Confidence Network for Surface Defect Segmentation by Yueyou Wang, Zixuan Xu, Li Mei, Ruiqing Guo, Jing Zhang, Tingbo Zhang, Hongqi Liu

“…However, two major challenges persist in specific application scenarios: first, the imbalanced area distribution between defects and the background leads to degraded segmentation performance; second, fine gaps within defects are prone to over-segmentation. To address these issues, this study proposes a two-stage image segmentation network that integrates a Defect Localization Module and a Pixel Confidence Module. …”
