The proposed Small Object Few-Shot Segmentation (SOFS) model tackles the challenges of few-shot semantic segmentation in vision-based industrial inspection (VII). By avoiding image resizing and correctly indicating target semantics, SOFS improves upon existing methods that struggle with small defect sizes. Additionally, an abnormal prior map is designed to reduce false positives, while a mixed normal Dice loss encourages the model to prioritize accurate predictions over false ones. The paper demonstrates the superior performance of SOFS through diverse experiments, making it a promising solution for practical applications in VII.
Low GrooveSquid.com (original content) Low Difficulty Summary
In this paper, researchers develop a new method called Small Object Few-Shot Segmentation (SOFS) that helps machines quickly and accurately find defects in industrial settings. This is important because finding defects quickly can help prevent accidents or damage to equipment. The current methods for doing this have some limitations, such as not being able to handle small defect sizes or producing many false results. SOFS addresses these issues by allowing the model to learn from a few examples and reducing the number of mistakes it makes. The researchers tested their method and found that it performed better than other approaches.
