Abstract
Bearing defect detection plays a crucial role in the intelligent production of chemical transmission equipment, where timely identification and handling of defective bearings are essential. However, in practical large-scale industrial production, product surface defects are often complex, diverse, and exhibit significant variations in appearance, posing severe challenges to the discriminative ability and detection efficiency of bearing defect detection algorithms. This paper proposes a real-time bearing surface defect detection algorithm, CAC-YOLOv8, which designs the Channel Attenuation Network (CAN) and Compound Pooling Pyramid Spatial Pyramid Pooling Fast (CPPSPPF) structure. Specifically, the model introduces the Channel Attenuation Network to achieve parallel feature extraction, deep feature processing, and feature fusion under different channel numbers, capturing critical features related to bearing defects and thereby improving the inference speed. Subsequently, based on the concept of overlapped receptive fields, a CPPSPPF structure is constructed, utilizing multiple iterations of max-pooling operations with smaller pooling kernel sizes to prevent information loss while expanding the receptive field, thereby strengthening the capturing ability of features at different scales. The experimental results indicate that the proposed CAC-YOLOv8 bearing surface defect detection algorithm, compared to the YOLOv8 model, achieved a 0.3% improvement in mAP@0.5, reduced model size by 14.4%, and enhanced model inference speed by 33.3%. This enables the CAC-YOLOv8 model to significantly improve the real-time performance of bearing defect detection while maintaining high-precision detection. The performance in practical industrial detection demonstrates that the proposed approach has achieved outstanding results in both speed and accuracy.
