Surface defect detection of an automobile wheel hub is important to the automobile industry because these defects directly affect the safety and appearance of automobiles. At present, surface defect detection networks based on convolutional neural network use many pooling layers when extracting features, reducing the spatial resolution of features and preventing the accurate detection of the boundary of defects. On the basis of DeepLab v3+, we propose a semantic segmentation network for the surface defect detection of an automobile wheel hub. To solve the gridding effect of atrous convolution, the high-resolution network (HRNet) is used as the backbone network to extract high-resolution features, and the multi-scale features extracted by the Atrous Spatial Pyramid Pooling (ASPP) of DeepLab v3+ are superimposed. On the basis of the optical flow, we decouple the body and edge features of the defects to accurately detect the boundary of defects. Furthermore, in the upsampling process, a decoder can accurately obtain detection results by fusing the body, edge, and multi-scale features. We use supervised training to optimize these features. Experimental results on four defect datasets (i.e., wheels, magnetic tiles, fabrics, and welds) show that the proposed network has better F1 score, average precision, and intersection over union than SegNet, Unet, and DeepLab v3+, proving that the proposed network is effective for different defect detection scenarios.
