Abstract

In response to the scarcity of defect samples in industrial applications, this paper proposed a method for segmenting surface defects in metal workpieces with only a minimal number of required defect samples. The method combined image generation techniques with a semi-supervised learning strategy. The method utilized small-sized defect patches, extracted from a minimal number of defect images, to train a defect generation model. Subsequently, the method integrated these generated defect images into normal images to facilitate data augmentation. Additionally, the method applied a semi-supervised learning strategy to train the segmentation network, aiming to mitigate the adverse effects of differences between generated and real data distributions. The experimental phase involved conducting tests on a real-world computer vision detection system for metal workpieces. The results demonstrated that the semi-supervised training strategy significantly enhanced the segmentation model's ability to generalize to real defects. The method achieved high segmentation accuracy using only five defect sample images.
