Advanced Faster-RCNN Model for Automated Recognition and Detection of Weld Defects on Limited X-Ray Image Dataset
Computer-aided weld defect recognition is transforming the field of Non-Destructive Testing by addressing the shortcomings of slow and error-prone manual inspections. This technology provides a reliable solution for detecting changes in pipeline conditions and structural damage. While conventional neural networks fall short in precise fault localization, deep learning-based object detection techniques step in to fill the gap. Addressing a real-industrial problem, particularly visually inspecting an X-ray welding database, without relying on a pre-existing benchmark presents a significant challenge in this field. Additionally, the poor quality of our welding data, which is riddled with small, sticky porosity in each image, poses several issues related to selecting the appropriate deep neural network object detector. This is yet another challenge that needs to be tackled. To direct these challenges, we introduced a novel approach based on the renowned Faster RCNN architecture to develop a model specifically designed for weld defect detection and recognition. This study dives deep into the inner workings of this newly adopted methodology. In our research, we have thoroughly parameterized, trained, tested, and validated this model. Our approach stands out through a comparative analysis with YOLO and DCNN models, highlighting the superiority of our Faster RCNN-based system. By evaluating its robustness and efficiency, our study reveals that the Faster RCNN model outperforms its counterparts in weld defect detection and localization for this specific small and sticky porosity defect type. This stands as a testament to effectively setting a new standard in this area.
