Abstract Automatically detecting surface defects from images is an essential capability in manufacturing applications. Traditional image processing techniques were useful in solving a specific class of problems. However, these techniques were unable to handle noise, variations in lighting conditions, and background with complex textures. Increasingly deep learning is being explored to automate defect detection. This survey paper presents three different ways of classifying various efforts. These are based on defect detection context, learning techniques, and defect localization and classification method. The existing literature is classified using this methodology. The paper also identifies future research directions based on the trends in the deep learning area.

The quality of product of manufacturing industries depends on dimension accurately and surface roughness quality. There are many types of surface defects and levels of surface roughness quality. Ironing process is one type of metal forming process, which aims to reduce the wall thickness of the cup-shaped or pipes products, thus increasing the height of the wall. Manually surface inspection procedures are very inadequate to ensure the surface in guaranteed quality. To ensure strict requirements of customers, the surface defect inspection based on image processing techniques has been found to be very effective and popular over the last two decades. The paper has been reviewed some papers based on image processing for defect detection. It has been tried to find some alternatives of useful methods for product surface defect detection of ironing process.

A safe operation protocol of the wind blades is a critical factor to ensure the stability of a wind turbine. Sensors are most commonly applied for defect detection on wind turbine blades (WTBs). However, due to the high cost and the sensitivity to stochastic noise, computer vision-guided automatic detection remains a challenge for surface defect detection on WTBs in particularly, its accuracy in locating defects is yet to be optimized. In this paper, we developed a visual inspection model that can automatically and precisely classify and locate the surface defects, through the utilization of a deep learning framework based on the Cascade R-CNN. In order to obtain high mean average precision (mAP) according to the characteristics of the dataset, a model named Contextual Aligned-Deformable Cascade R-CNN (CAD Cascade R-CNN) using improved strategies of transfer learning, Deformable Convolution and Deformable RoI Align, as well as context information fusion is proposed and a dataset with surface defects categorized and labeled as crack, breakage and oil pollution is generated. Moreover to alleviate the problem of false detection under a complex background, an improved bisecting k-means is presented during the test process. The adaptability and generalization of the proposed CAD Cascade R-CNN model were validated by each type of defects in dataset and different IoU thresholds, whereas, each of the above improved strategies was verified by gradual ablation experiments. Finally experiments that compared with the baseline Cascade R-CNN, Faster R-CNN and YOLO-v3 demonstrate its superiority over these existing approaches with a maximum of 92.1% mAP.

Surface defects in manufacturing are top challenges in various manufacturing field including LED manufacturing, die manufacturing and printing industry. Quality control through automated surface defect detection has been an emphasis to speed up the production without jeopardizing the quality of the product. However, complexity and flexibility in product design, specification and dataset availability posted challenges in existing referential-based algorithm. Golden template-based algorithms are sensitive to misalignment and product variations. Deep learning and its variant can be used as non-linear filter to segment anomalies area. However, deep learning requires huge labelled database and consume long learning time. Similarly, maximum likelihood-based algorithms require large database for learning. This research proposes a novel histogram distance based multiple templates anomalies detection (MTAD) algorithm to segment surface defect. Histogram distance based on kernel-wise histograms stacked across illumination normalized database of similar size can describe the degree of anomaly intuitively across the image. Then, surface defect can be justified intuitively according to anomaly heat map generated. The algorithm is tested against industrial samples and it can handle texture and design variation existed in the product while catching anomaly in real time. This research suggests future studies on extending dimensionality of the histogram. Suggested algorithm has wide range of application other than surface defect detection. For examples, video motion detection, decolorization detection on industrial lighting.

Recent years have witnessed the widespread research of the surface defect detection technology based on machine vision, which has spawned various effective detection methods. In particular, the rise of deep learning has allowed the surface defect detection technology to develop further. However, these methods based on deep learning still have some drawbacks. For example, the size of the sample data is not large enough to support deep learning; the location and recognition of surface defects are not accurate enough; the real-time performance of segmentation and classification is not satisfactory. In the context, this paper proposes an end-to-end convolutional neural network model: the pixel-wise segmentation and image-wise classification network (PSIC-Net). With the innovative design of a three-stage network structure, improved loss function and a two-step training mode, PSIC-Net can accurately and quickly segment and classify surface defects with a small dataset of training data. This model was evaluated with three public datasets, and compared with the most advanced defect detection methods. All the performance metrics prove the effectiveness and advancement of PSIC-Net.

The existing seal ring surface defect detection methods for aerospace applications have the problems of low detection efficiency, strong specificity, large fine-grained classification errors, and unstable detection results. Considering these problems, a fine-grained seal ring surface defect detection algorithm for aerospace applications is proposed. Based on analysis of the stacking process of standard convolution, heat maps of original pixels in the receptive field participating in the convolution operation are quantified and generated. According to the generated heat map, the feature extraction optimization method of convolution combinations with different dilation rates is proposed, and an efficient convolution feature extraction network containing three kinds of dilated convolutions is designed. Combined with the O-ring surface defect features, a multiscale defect detection network is designed. Before the head of multiscale classification and position regression, feature fusion tree modules are added to ensure the reuse and compression of the responsive features of different receptive fields on the same scale feature maps. Experimental results show that on the O-rings-3000 testing dataset, the mean condition accuracy of the proposed algorithm reaches 95.10% for 5 types of surface defects of aerospace O-rings. Compared with RefineDet, the mean condition accuracy of the proposed algorithm is only reduced by 1.79%, while the parameters and FLOPs are reduced by 35.29% and 64.90%, respectively. Moreover, the proposed algorithm has good adaptability to image blur and light changes caused by the cutting of imaging hardware, thus saving the cost.

The automatic inspection of quality in fruits is becoming of paramount importance in order to decrease production costs and increase quality standards. Computer vision techniques are used in fruit industry for fruit grading, sorting, and defect detection. In this chapter, we review recent approaches for automatic inspection of quality in fruits using computer vision techniques.
