Mine hoisting steel wire rope surface damage image recognition based on improved YOLOv8n by MAO Qinghua, YANG Fan, WANG Chao, TONG Xuyao, TONG Junwei, ZHANG Xuhui, XUE Xusheng

“…Compared with mainstream models such as Faster-RCNN, YOLOv5s, YOLOv8n, YOLOv10m, TWRD-Net, and YOLOv5-TPH, the improved YOLOv8n model exhibited the best accuracy for small target damage recognition while maintaining high real-time performance. In complex field scenarios with oil stain coverage and large gaps between rope strands in coal mines, the improved YOLOv8n model did not miss any damage detections and had fewer false detections, achieving an average recognition accuracy of 90%.…”
