abstract
Previous works for PCB defect detection based on image difference and image processing techniques have already achieved promising performance. However, they sometimes fall short because of the unaccounted defect patterns or over-sensitivity about some hyper-parameters. In this work, we design a deep model that accurately detects PCB defects from an input pair of a detect-free template and a defective tested image. A novel group pyramid pooling module is proposed to efficiently extract features of a large range of resolutions, which are merged by group to predict PCB defect of corresponding scales. To train the deep model, a dataset is established, namely DeepPCB, which contains 1,500 image pairs with annotations including positions of 6 common types of PCB defects. Experiment results validate the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed model by achieving $98.6\%$ mAP @ 62 FPS on DeepPCB dataset. This dataset is now available at: https://github.com/tangsanli5201/DeepPCB.

RefDiffNet is a lightweight input enhancement block that uses reference image comparison to expose PCB defects, delivering up to 18% relative mAP50:95 gains across YOLO, RT-DETR, and Faster R-CNN detectors with 0.004-0.005M extra parameters.
Tile-based inference with topology-aware merging improves small PCB defect detection by preserving scale and resolving edge artifacts on two datasets.
UniPCB uses multi-modal conditioned diffusion to synthesize PCB defects and an inverted residual shift attention detector to reach 98.0% mAP@0.5 and 61.8% mAP@0.5:0.95 on DsPCBSD+.
