To solve the problem of slow speed and low accuracy in the surface defect detection of hot rolled strips
an improved YOLOv3 algorithm is proposed. Firstly
the weighting K-means clustering algorithm is put forward to optimize priors anchor's parameters
which can improve the match between priors anchor and feature map. Secondly
the improved network structure of the YOLOv3 algorithm is proposed to improve the detection accuracy
whose shallow features and deep features are combined to form the new large-scale inspection layer. The experiments are carried out on the NEU-DET dataset
the results show that the average accuracy of the improved YOLOv3 algorithm is 80%
which is 11% higher than that of the original algorithm; the detection speed is 50fps
which is faster than other strip surface defect detection algorithms based on deep learning.
