Currently, image-based defect detection methods are ineffective in detecting tiny and variously shaped defects. Therefore, this paper proposes a tiny defect detection network (TD-Net) for industrial products to improve the effectiveness of tiny defect detection. TD-Net improves the overall defect detection effect, especially the detection effect of tiny defects, by solving the problems of downsampling of tiny defects, pre-filtering of conflicting deep and shallow semantic information, and cascading fusion of multi-scale information. Specifically, this paper proposes the Defect Downsampling (DD) module to realize the defect information supplementation during the backbone downsampling process and improve the problem that the stepwise convolution easily misses the detection of tiny defects. Meanwhile, the Semantic Information Interaction Module (SIIM) is proposed, which fuses deep and shallow semantic features, and is designed to interact the fused features with shallow features to optimize the detection of tiny defects. Finally, the Scale Information Fusion Module (SIFM) is proposed to improve the Path Aggregation Network (PANet) for cascading fusion and information focus on different scale information, which enables further improvement of defect detection performance of TD-Net.
