In this study, an ensemble learning-based advanced segmentation method is presented for the detection of defects on steel surfaces. Nowadays, the importance of quality control in steel production processes is increasing and the need for defect detection technologies is growing rapidly. In this context, a powerful model that can accurately detect and segment various steel surface defects is needed. The proposed system significantly increases segmentation accuracy by combining deep learning-based multi-model approaches with ensemble learning. The ensemble learning strategy used combines the strengths of multiple deep learning models with different architectures, improving the overall performance of our system and making it more susceptible to various types of defects. This approach has been tested on a large dataset and achieved a mIoU rate of 77.98%, demonstrating a significant performance improvement over existing single model-based methods. The results reveal that the proposed ensemble learning-based segmentation method offers an effective solution for detecting defects on steel surfaces and has potential applications in industrial quality control processes.

Çelik Yüzeylerdeki Kusurların Tespiti için Topluluk Öğrenme Tabanlı Gelişmiş Segmentasyon Yöntemi

Öz

Bu çalışmada, çelik yüzeylerdeki kusurların tespiti için topluluk öğrenme tabanlı bir gelişmiş segmentasyon yöntemi sunulmuştur. Günümüzde, çelik üretim süreçlerinde kalite kontrolün önemi artmakta ve kusur tespiti teknolojilerine olan ihtiyaç hızla büyümektedir. Bu bağlamda, çeşitli çelik yüzey kusurlarını doğru bir şekilde tespit edebilen ve bölütleyebilen güçlü bir modele ihtiyaç vardır. Önerilen sistem, derin öğrenme tabanlı çoklu model yaklaşımlarını topluluk öğrenme ile birleştirerek, segmentasyon doğruluğunu önemli ölçüde artırmaktadır. Kullanılan topluluk öğrenme stratejisi, farklı mimarilere sahip birden fazla derin öğrenme modelinin güçlü yönlerini bir araya getirerek, sistemimizin genel performansını iyileştirmekte ve çeşitli kusur türlerine karşı daha duyarlı hale getirmektedir. Bu yaklaşım, geniş bir veri seti üzerinde test edilmiş ve %77,98 mIoU oranı elde ederek mevcut tekil model tabanlı yöntemlere kıyasla önemli bir performans artışı göstermiştir. Sonuçlar, önerilen topluluk öğrenme tabanlı segmentasyon yönteminin, çelik yüzeylerdeki kusurların tespiti konusunda etkili bir çözüm sunduğunu ve endüstriyel kalite kontrol süreçlerinde potansiyel uygulamalara sahip olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır.
