From: Contrastive self-supervised representation learning framework for metal surface defect detection
Category | Objectives and features | Limitations |
---|---|---|
Surface defect classification; handcrafted feature extraction | Extracted features are sensitive to noise and variability, computationally intensive | |
Lightweight architecture for defect detection; transfer of valuable defect features to student model, handle complex and varied defect patterns extracted using evolving convolutional architectures | Requiring large volumes of labeled examples, overfitting and poor generalization on rare classes, does not aid detection of rare and newer defects | |
Use of small dataset, saves training period; usage of prior knowledge towards target domain | If source and target tasks are not adequately representative, they become redundant; negative transfer | |
Defect detection with limited samples; process unlabeled data to obtain useful defect representations | Poor results for rare surface defects, computational complexity issue for real-time monitoring |
