Abstract

Steel occupies a central position in modern industry, but due to long-term use, cracks, corrosion and other defects often appear on its surface, threatening structural safety. Traditional manual inspection methods are inefficient and prone to misdetection and leakage, therefore, efficient and accurate inspection techniques are urgently needed. In this paper, we propose a lightweight steel surface defect detection model YOLOv11-MobilNetv4 based on the combination of YOLOv11 and MobileNetv4. Experimental results show that YOLOv11-MobileNetv4 shows a faster detection speed suitable for application in mobile devices, and the mAP reaches 0.714, which is comparable. This study provides an effective solution for steel defect detection and lays the foundation for subsequent lightweight applications of deep learning models.
