Article Description

In response to the challenges of small-size defects and low recognition rates in Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs), as well as the need for lightweight detection models that can be embedded in portable devices, this paper proposes an improved defect detection method based on a lightweight shared convolutional head using YOLOv8n. Firstly, the Spatial and Channel reconstruction Convolution (SCConv) is embedded into the Cross Stage Partial with Convolutional Layer Fusion (C2f) structure of the backbone network, which reduces redundant computations and enhances the model’s learning capacity. Secondly, an adaptive feature selection module is integrated to improve the network’s ability to recognize small targets. Subsequently, a Shared Lightweight Convolutional Detection (SLCD) Head replaces the original Decoupled Head, reducing the model’s computational complexity while increasing detection accuracy. Finally, the Weighted Intersection over Union (WIoU) loss function is introduced to provide more precise evaluation results and improve generalization capability. Comparative experiments conducted on a public PCB dataset demonstrate that the improved algorithm achieves a mean Average Precision (mAP) of 98.6% and an accuracy of 99.8%, representing improvements of 3.8% and 3.1%, respectively, over the original model. The model size is 4.1 M, and its FPS is 144.1, meeting the requirements for real-time and lightweight portable deployment.
