[0108] In an embodiment of the present invention, a defect recognition deep learning model includes: an input layer, a basic convolutional layer, a dynamic attention module, a multi-scale feature extraction module, a convolution module and a fully connected layer; the basic convolutional layer includes a first convolutional layer with 64 3x3 convolutional kernels and a second convolutional layer with 128 3x3 convolutional kernels; the first convolutional layer is used to extract a first feature of a preprocessed image, and the second convolutional layer is used to perform feature extraction on the first feature to obtain a second feature; the dynamic attention module is used to generate a first feature map based on the second feature, obtain an attention weight based on the first feature map, and obtain a third feature based on the attention weight and the first feature map; the multi-scale feature extraction module is used to perform convolution operations on the third feature through scale spaces of multiple different scales to obtain multiple second feature maps of the same scale; multiple second feature maps are spliced ​​to obtain a third feature map; the convolution module is used to perform feature extraction on the third feature map through multiple convolution blocks of different scales to obtain a fourth feature; the fully connected layer is used to flatten the fourth feature, and obtain the type, location and severity of the printing defect based on the fourth feature.

[0109] Specific:

[0110] Input layer: Input image size: 224x224x3. Convert the size of the preprocessed image to 224x224x3.

[0111] Basic convolutional layer:

[0112] The first convolution layer: 64 3x3 convolution kernels, stride 1, ReLU activation, followed by a 2x2 maximum pooling layer; used to extract the first feature of the preprocessed image, that is, the first convolution layer convolves the preprocessed image with 64 3x3 convolution kernels with a stride of 1 to obtain the first convolution feature, and then performs a pooling operation on the first convolution feature through a 2x2 maximum pooling layer to obtain the first feature. During the convolution process, the activation function used is the ReLU function.

[0113] The second convolutional layer: 128 3x3 convolution kernels with a stride of 1, using ReLU activation, followed by a 2x2 maximum pooling layer; used to extract the first feature and obtain the second feature, that is, convolve the first feature with 128 3x3 convolution kernels with a stride of 1 to obtain the second convolution feature, and then pool the second convolution feature through a 2x2 maximum pooling layer to obtain the second feature.

[0114] Dynamic Attention Module:

[0115] Feature map generation: The output of convolution layer 2 (second feature) is passed into a 1x1 convolution layer to generate multiple feature maps (e.g., 128). In this step, the generated feature map is the first feature map.

[0116] Dynamic attention mechanism: Calculate the importance of each feature map (first feature map) and use global average pooling to generate a feature vector; Generate attention weights based on the feature vector through a fully connected layer (with ReLU activation function) and Sigmoid activation function; Multiply the attention weights by the feature map element by element to obtain important features (third features).

[0117] Multi-scale feature extraction module:

[0118] Scale 1: Perform 3x3 convolution on the output feature map (third feature) to generate 128 feature maps (second feature map);

[0119] Scale 2: Perform 5x5 convolution on the output feature map (third feature) to generate 128 feature maps (second feature map);

[0120] Scale 3: Perform 7x7 convolution on the output feature map (third feature) to generate 128 feature maps (second feature map);

[0121] The feature maps of the three scales (the second feature map) are concatenated to form 384 multi-scale feature maps (the third feature map);

[0122] Convolutional module:

[0123] Convolutional block 1: 384 3x3 convolution kernels, activation function is ReLU, followed by a 2x2 max pooling layer, output feature map;

[0124] Convolutional block 2: 256 3x3 convolution kernels, ReLU activation function, followed by a 2x2 max pooling layer, output feature map;

[0125] Convolutional block 3: 128 3x3 convolution kernels, ReLU activation function, followed by a 2x2 max pooling layer, output feature map;

[0126] That is, convolution block 1 performs a convolution operation on the third feature map through 384 3x3 convolutions to obtain a first convolution map. During the convolution operation, the activation function is the ReLU function. A 2x2 maximum pooling layer is used to perform a pooling operation on the first convolution map to output the first pooled feature map; convolution block 2 performs a convolution operation on the first pooled feature map through 256 3x3 convolution kernels. During the convolution operation, the activation function used is the ReLU function to obtain a second convolution map; then a 2x2 maximum pooling layer is used to perform a reddening operation on the second convolution map to obtain a second pooled feature map; finally, convolution block 3 performs a convolution operation on the second pooled feature map through 128 3x3 convolution kernels, and the activation function used is the ReLU function to obtain a third convolution feature map; then a 2x2 maximum pooling layer is used to perform a pooling operation on the third convolution feature map to obtain the fourth feature.

[0127] Fully connected layer:

[0128] Flatten layer: Flattens the output (fourth feature) of the convolution block. Specifically, the Flatten layer flattens the input four-dimensional tensor into a two-dimensional tensor, that is, performs a dimensionality reduction operation. It is usually converted into a tensor of shape (M, H xW x C). In this way, the feature map of each sample is flattened into a one-dimensional vector for input to the fully connected layer. Among them, M is the batch size (batchsize), which indicates the number of fourth features. H represents the height of the fourth feature (height). W represents the width of the fourth feature (width). C represents the number of channels of the fourth feature (channels, usually the number of convolution kernels).

[0129] Example: Assume the output shape of the convolutional block is (32, 7, 7, 128), where:

[0130] 32: batch size.

[0131] 7: Feature map height (height).

[0132] 7: Feature map width (width).

[0133] 128: Number of channels.

[0134] After passing through the Flatten layer, the output will become:

[0135] The flattened shape is: (32,7x 7x 128) = (32,6272).

[0136] That is, the input of the Flatten layer is the output of the convolution block, that is, a multi-dimensional feature map with a shape of (M,H,W,C)$.

[0137] Flattened output: converted to a two-dimensional tensor of shape (M, H x W x C) for subsequent fully connected layer processing.

[0138] Fully connected layer 1: 512 neurons, ReLU activation;

[0139] Dropout layer: Use a ratio of 0.5 to prevent overfitting;

[0140] Fully connected layer 2: Softmax layer of the output category number. That is, the type, location and severity of printing defects are calculated through the Softmax function.

[0141] By combining the dynamic attention mechanism and multi-scale feature extraction, the model's ability to focus on important features is enhanced, while providing rich context to improve the accuracy of printing defect recognition and classification.

[0171] The above defect types may affect the printing quality and the appearance of the final product. By monitoring and analyzing these defects, combined with deep learning and automatic adjustment technology, the printing quality can be effectively improved and the defect rate can be reduced.

[0172] In order to improve the recognition accuracy of the defect recognition deep learning model, it is necessary to train the defect recognition deep learning model. The training methods of the defect recognition deep learning model include:

[0173] A training set is obtained, the training set includes multiple training printed images, and the defect types are marked in the training printed images. The defect types are marked in the training printed images, for example, color deviation is marked 1, and color unevenness is marked 2. The marking can be specifically performed by referring to the above representation method.

[0174] The defect recognition deep learning model is trained using the training set, and the loss function of the defect recognition deep learning model is calculated in each iteration.

Specifically, the feature with a smaller size is dimensionally expanded, and the value of the expanded dimension is 0, so that the dimensions of the second feature and the fourth feature are the same.
