Method for detecting surface defects of ceramic tile based on improved Cascade RCNN

In view of the problems of small scale and low contrast of ceramic tile defects, various types of ceramic tile surface defects, and difficulty in realizing high-precision ceramic tile defect detection, a ceramic tile surface defect detection model based on improved Cascade RCNN is proposed to locate and identify the types of ceramic tile surface defects in different texture backgrounds. The improved ResNest network is used to improve the classification ability of the algorithm and optimize the performance of the model. The improved feature pyramid enhanced the feature extraction ability of the algorithm, and improved the accuracy of detecting small-scale defects and low-contrast defects of ceramic tiles. The whole connection structure of the last layer of cascade detectors was modified to double-head structure, which improved the ability of detectors to perform classification and regression tasks, and solved the problem of various kinds of defects on the surface of ceramic tiles. After data collection, 2810 tiles defect pictures were obtained, and then 7934 tiles defect slices were obtained by image segmentation, and the slices were made into tiles defect data sets. Experiments show that this method can achieve 77.8 ^% MAP and 93.9% average positive detection rate, which is higher than Faster RCNN and original Cascade RCNN.
