Article Synopsis
  • Strip steel surface defect detection is essential for maintaining quality in steel production, but existing algorithms struggle with accuracy and speed due to varying defect sizes and blurred images.
  • The proposed solution, YOLO-SDS, is a lightweight network that enhances the original YOLOv8 model by implementing a new backbone (StarNet) and incorporating advanced modules for better multi-scale feature extraction and handling occluded objects.
  • Experimental results indicate that YOLO-SDS reduces model parameters by 34.4% while increasing detection accuracy by 1.5%, demonstrating significant advantages in efficiency over other defect detection models.

Rationale: The overall pregnancy rate in individuals with an intrauterine device (IUD) for contraception is <1%. If pregnancy occurs while an IUD is in place, there is a higher risk of an ectopic pregnancy. We report the case of a woman with an IUD who was 7 weeks pregnant and experienced a spontaneous abortion 1 week later.
