The invention provides a
fan blade crack detection method, which comprises the following steps of: for a
fan blade image acquired by an unmanned aerial vehicle, performing
deblurring processing on the image through a pre-
processing algorithm designed by the invention, and overcoming the problem of motion blurring when the unmanned aerial vehicle acquires the
fan blade image; and carrying out crack detection on the acquired image by adopting a crack detection neural
network model improved based on YOLOv8. According to the crack detection model, self texture interference of the blade can be avoided, the crack detection precision is improved, crack characteristics of different scales are captured through a Stem module of a multi-
branch structure, a
CAM module is added into a C2f-1 module, crack attention is integrated, and crack related characteristics are enhanced; a residual connection mode of a residual block is designed in a C2f-2 module to avoid the problem of deep network gradient disappearance, gradient flow and effective transmission of crack characteristics are guaranteed, response of crack-related channels is enhanced through channel re-calibration, and irrelevant channels such as blade textures are inhibited.
