Publication number: 20250131553Abstract: Since defect areas in collected hydro turbine defect images account for a small proportion and there is a significant color difference between surrounding background and defects, which creates too much redundant information and greatly affects detection speed, a method for detecting defects in a hydro turbine top cover based on an improved YOLOv8 model involves first cropping collected defect images to obtain cropped images, then expanding the cropped images by image enhancement techniques such as image flipping and image blurring to obtain a training dataset. A defect detection network based on YOLOv8-CBAM is constructed and trained to generate a defect detection model for detecting the defects in the hydro turbine top cover. The method achieves high precision in defect detection for the hydro turbine top cover.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 21, 2024Publication date: April 24, 2025Inventors: Tao Wu, Zaiming Geng, Ming Ma, Jian Deng, Wei Qiu, Hui Liu, Jiahao Zhang, Jie Yang, Xiangyou Ye, Xiaoping Zhang, Yiming Ren
