Textile Defect Detection Algorithm Based on the Improved YOLOv8 by Wenfei Song, Du Lang, Jiahui Zhang, Meilian Zheng, Xiaoming Li

“…Deep &#x0026; Cross Network(DCNv2) is introduced into the Backbone Network to replace the C2F module, enhancing the extraction of network features; an self-attention mechanism, Polarized Self-Attention(PSA), is adopted to increase feature fusion capability and reduce feature loss in both channel and spatial dimensions; finally, a Small Object Detection Head (SOHead) is added to improve the feature extraction ability for small targets. Experimental results show that the improved YOLOv8 algorithm achieves has achieved mAP@0.5 and mAP of 44.6% and 48.6% respectively, which is an improvement of 4.2% and 3.8% over the original algorithm, and also outperforms the Optimal YOLOv9s model and the latest YOLOv11s model in these two metrics. …”
