Defects detection of floor tiles of ancient buildings based on Faster R-CNN

Abstract

Defect detection is of great significance for the protection and repair of ancient buildings. The traditional floor tile defect detection has been subject to visual inspection, which has limitations due to human influence and time-consuming. Based on the good application prospects of deep learning, this paper builds a data set of imperfections in the Forbidden City, and proposes an improved Faster R-CNN. Firstly, the deformable convolution was constructed, and the defect features in the floor tile were learned and extracted through the network. Then，the feature graph was input into region proposal network to generate the candidate region box, and the generated feature graph and candidate region box was pooled. Finally, the defect detection results were output. Under the test of the image data set of floor tiles of the Forbidden City, the mean accuracy of the improved model reached 92.49%, which was 2.99% higher than the Faster R-CNN model and more suitable for the floor tile defect detection.
