YOLOv8 algorithm is improved in the defect detection of wind turbine blades applications

风力发电机叶片,作为风力发电系统的核心组件,其健康状况直接关乎整个发电效率与运行安全。针对叶片缺陷检测的挑战,深入研究了YOLOv8n网络,并创新性地提出了高效多尺度卷积模块(EMSConv),该模块有效替代了传统残差块中的卷积层,通过分组卷积技术显著降低了冗余特征对检测结果的干扰,从而提升了检测的精确性。此外,在检测头部分,融入了Dynamic Head的多元化注意力机制,这些自注意力机制协同工作,跨越不同特征层,实现了对目标尺度、空间位置及检测任务的精准感知,极大地增强了目标检测模块的综合能力。还创新性地整合了Inner-IoU、Wise-IoU与MPDIoU,创造性地提出了Inner�Wise-MPDIoU,以替代传统的CIoU损失函数,这一举措不仅提高了网络的检测精度,还加速了收敛过程。在针对自制风机叶片缺陷数据集的测试中,YOLOv8-EDI展现出了卓越的性能,其mAP50值高达81.0%,相比原始YOLOv8n提升了2.3%;召回率也达到了76.8%,提升了3.7%。该模型在提升检测效果的同时,还实现了计算量的降低,降幅达5.5%,充分满足了工业环境下对风机叶片进行高效、准确、大批量检测的需求。

Wind turbine blades,being the core component of wind power generation systems,have their health status directly impacting the overall power generation efficiency and operational safety.Addressing the challenges of blade defect detection,researchers delved into the YOLOv8n network and innovatively proposed the Efficient Multi-Scale Convolutional module(EMSConv).This module effectively replaces the convolutional layers in traditional residual blocks,significantly reducing the interference of redundant features on detection results through grouped convolution techniques,thereby enhancing detection accuracy.Furthermore,in the detection head,a diverse set of attention mechanisms from Dynamic Head are incorporated.These self-attention mechanisms work in concert,spanning across different feature layers,to achieve precise perception of target scales,spatial locations,and detection tasks,vastly strengthening the comprehensive capabilities of the target detection module.Moreover,researchers innovatively integrated Inner-IoU,Wise-IoU,and MPDIoU,creatively proposing Inner-Wise-MPDIoU to replace the traditional CIoU loss function.This move not only improved the network’s detection precision but also accelerated the convergence process.During testing on a self-made dataset of wind turbine blade defects,YOLOv8-EDI exhibited remarkable performance,achieving an mAP50 value of 81.0%,a 2.3%increase compared to the original YOLOv8n.The recall rate also reached 76.8%,marking a 3.7%improvement.While enhancing detection performance,this model managed to reduce computational requirements by 5.5%,fully meeting the need for efficient,accurate,and large-scale blade defect detection in industrial settings.
