AN IMPROVED YOLOv8 ALGORITHM FOR RAIL SURFACE DEFECT DETECTION
Abstract & Details
Research Area
Electronics and communication engineering
Keywords
An improved YOLOv8 algorithm for rail surface defect detection focuses on enhancing feature extraction
multi-scale representation
and small-defect recognition on high-speed rail tracks. The model integrates lightweight convolution modules
attention mechanisms such as CBAM/SE
and improved feature fusion through FPN–PAN networks to boost accuracy
Abstract
This abstract presents an improved YOLOv8 algorithm specifically designed for robust and accurate rail surface defect detection. Addressing the limitations of traditional methods and the challenges posed by diverse defect types, varying lighting conditions, and potential occlusions in real-world railway environments, this enhanced model integrates several key modifications
