Abstract Printed circuit boards (PCBs) provide stable connections between electronic components. However, defective printed circuit boards may cause the entire equipment system to malfunction, resulting in incalculable losses. Therefore, it is crucial to detect defective printed circuit boards during the generation process. Traditional detection methods have low accuracy in detecting subtle defects in complex background environments. In order to improve the detection accuracy of surface defects on industrial printed circuit boards, this paper proposes a residual large kernel network based on YOLOv5 (You Only Look Once version 5) for PCBs surface defect detection, called YOLO-RLC (You… More >

Abstract Automatic crack detection of cement pavement chiefly benefits from the rapid development of deep learning, with convolutional neural networks (CNN) playing an important role in this field. However, as the performance of crack detection in cement pavement improves, the depth and width of the network structure are significantly increased, which necessitates more computing power and storage space. This limitation hampers the practical implementation of crack detection models on various platforms, particularly portable devices like small mobile devices. To solve these problems, we propose a dual-encoder-based network architecture that focuses on extracting more comprehensive fracture feature… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Robust watermarking requires finding invariant features under multiple attacks to ensure correct extraction. Deep learning has extremely powerful in extracting features, and watermarking algorithms based on deep learning have attracted widespread attention. Most existing methods use small kernel convolution to extract image features and embed the watermarking. However, the effective perception fields for small kernel convolution are extremely confined, so the pixels that each watermarking can affect are restricted, thus limiting the performance of the watermarking. To address these problems, we propose a watermarking network based on large kernel convolution and adaptive weight assignment for… More >
