As the most commonly used communication tool, the mobile phone has become an indispensable part of our daily life. The surface of the mobile phone as the main window of human-phone interaction directly affects the user experience. It is necessary to detect surface defects on the production line in order to ensure the high quality of the mobile phone. However, the existing mobile phone surface defect detection is mainly done manually, and currently there are few automatic defect detection methods to replace human eyes. How to quickly and accurately detect the surface defects of mobile phone is an urgent problem to be solved. Hence, an efficient defect detection network (EDD-Net) is proposed. Firstly, EfficientNet is used as the backbone network. Then, according to the small-scale of mobile phone surface defects, a feature pyramid module named GCSA-BiFPN is proposed to obtain more discriminative features. Finally, the box/class prediction network is used to achieve effective defect detection. We also build a mobile phone surface oil stain defect (MPSOSD) dataset to alleviate the lack of dataset in this field. The performance on the relevant datasets shows that the network we proposed is effective and has practical significance for industrial production.

Various surface defects will inevitably occur in the production process of mobile phones, which have a huge impact on the enterprise. Therefore, precise defect detection is of great significance in the production of mobile phones. However, the traditional manual inspection and machine vision inspection have low efficiency and accuracy respectively which cannot meet the rapid production needs of modern enterprises. In this paper, we proposed a mobile phone surface defect (MPSD) detection model based on deep learning, which greatly reduce the requirement of a large dataset and improve detection performance. First, Boundary Equilibrium Generative Adversarial Networks (BEGAN) is used to generate and augment the defect data. Then, based on Faster R-CNN model, Feature Pyramid Network (FPN) and ResNet 101 are combined as feature extraction network to get more small target defect features. Further, replacing the ROI pooling layer with an ROI Align layer reduces the quantization deviation during the pooling process. Finally, we train and evaluate our model on our own dataset. The experimental results indicate that compared with some traditional methods based on handcrafted feature extraction and the traditional Faster R-CNN, the improved Faster R-CNN achieves 99.43% mAP, which is more effective in MPSD defect detection area.
