• Abstract summary: When learning to segment defect regions in PV module cell images, Tiny Hidden Cracks (THC) lead to extremely-imbalanced samples. This paper proposes an explicit measure for output imbalance; it generalizes a distribution-based loss that can handle different types of output imbalances; and it introduces a compound loss. The proposed method is evaluated on four widely-used deep learning architectures and four datasets with varying degrees of input imbalance.

• Abstract: The continuous development of the photovoltaic (PV) industry has raised high requirements for the quality of monocrystalline of PV module cells. When learning to segment defect regions in PV module cell images, Tiny Hidden Cracks (THC) lead to extremely-imbalanced samples. The ratio of defect pixels to normal pixels can be as low as 1:2000. This extreme imbalance makes it difficult to segment the THC of PV module cells, which is also a challenge for semantic segmentation. To address the problem of segmenting defects on extremely-imbalanced THC data, the paper makes contributions from three aspects: (1) it proposes an explicit measure for output imbalance; (2) it generalizes a distribution-based loss that can handle different types of output imbalances; and (3) it introduces a compound loss with our adaptive hyperparameter selection algorithm that can keep the consistency of training and inference for harmonizing the output imbalance on extremelyimbalanced input data. The proposed method is evaluated on four widely-used deep learning architectures and four datasets with varying degrees of input imbalance. The experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms existing methods.

  This article presents a new parameterized sigmoid called SIGTRON, and its companion convex model called SIGTRON-imbalanced classification (SIC) model. In contrast to the conventional $pi$-weighted cost-sensitive learning model, the SIC model does not have an external $pi$-weight on the loss function. We show that the proposed SIC model is more adaptive to variations of the dataset.

  In industrial defect segmentation tasks, output consistency (also referred to equivalence) of the model is often overlooked. A novel pair of down/upsampling layers called component attention polyphase sampling (CAPS) is proposed as a replacement for the conventional sampling layers in CNNs. The experimental results on the micro surface defect (MSD) dataset and four real-world industrial defect datasets demonstrate that the proposed method exhibits higher equivalence and segmentation performance.
