Abstract
The Chinese furniture market has a high demand for wood floors. Manual defect detection in wood floors is inefficient and lacks stability in accuracy. It is necessary to conduct research on automatic defect detection in wood floors. To improve the accuracy of detecting small defects in wood floors, this paper proposed a new network based on YOLOv7. The new network is called the cascade center of gravity YOLOv7 (CCG-YOLOv7). This paper designed cascade efficient layer aggregation networks (C-ELAN), streamlined the CBS, replaced the ELAN with the C-ELAN, introduced the rapid supervised attention module to connect the backbone and head layers, and simplified the head layer of the YOLOv7 network. These methods improved the detection accuracy and speed for detecting small defects on wood floor surfaces. The improved network can effectively detect small defects on the wooden board surfaces, including knots, scratches, and mildew. Compared to the original YOLOv7, CCG-YOLOv7 improves precision, recall, and mean average precision by 2.1%, 1.6%, and 1.2%, respectively.
