Defect Class
Defect classification research focuses on automatically identifying and categorizing flaws in various systems, from manufactured goods to infrastructure components, using advanced computational methods. Current research emphasizes leveraging deep learning architectures, such as Mask R-CNN, RetinaNet, and Vision-Language Models (VLMs) combined with Large Language Models (LLMs), to improve accuracy and robustness, particularly when dealing with limited or imbalanced datasets. These advancements address challenges like insufficient training data and the need for efficient defect detection in diverse modalities (images, videos, sensor data), improving quality control and predictive maintenance across numerous industries. The ultimate goal is to create more reliable and adaptable automated inspection systems that reduce human intervention and improve overall efficiency.
