Key Points

To develop an accurate and computationally efficient computer vision framework for detecting steel surface defects across complex industrial backgrounds.
Designed a dynamic receptive field (DRF) module utilizing a spatial kernel selection mechanism to adjust receptive perception dynamically according to defect size.
Engineered a multi-scale feature fusion (MFF) module to combine shallow structural details with deep semantic context.
Benchmarked model performance and inference efficiency on three public datasets: GC10-DET, NEU-DET, and APDDD.
Achieved a mean average precision (mAP) of 71.4% on GC10-DET, 82.0% on NEU-DET, and 68.3% on APDDD.
Surpassed prior state-of-the-art detection architectures while maintaining the low computational overhead necessary for real-time production lines.
