This study introduces an improved YOLOv5 model for real-time micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) defect detection. By enhancing feature extraction and using a generative adversarial network for data augmentation, the model significantly boosts detection accuracy for MEMS acoustic thin films.
Area of Science:
- Materials Science
- Electrical Engineering
- Computer Science
Background:
- Surface defect detection is critical for micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) acoustic thin film quality control.
- Deep learning model performance relies heavily on training data, which is often insufficient for defect detection in production settings.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop an improved YOLOv5 model for real-time MEMS defect detection.
- To address the challenge of limited defect samples in training datasets.
Main Methods:
- An enhanced YOLOv5 model incorporating Mosaic augmentation and an additional prediction head was utilized.
- Wasserstein divergence for generative adversarial networks with deep convolutional structure (WGAN-DIV-DC) was employed for defect sample expansion and diversification.
Main Results:
- The optimal detection model achieved a mean Average Precision (mAP) of 0.901 and an F1 score of 0.856.
- The model demonstrated real-time detection speed at 75.1 Frames Per Second (FPS).
- Compared to the baseline model, mAP and F1 score increased by 8.16% and 6.73%, respectively, using the augmented dataset.
Conclusions:
- The proposed defect detection model significantly improves accuracy and efficiency for MEMS acoustic thin film inspection.
- The integration of data augmentation techniques enhances the robustness and performance of deep learning models in defect detection.
- This approach offers substantial convenience for MEMS production quality control.

Types of Errors: Detection and Minimization
Absolute error in a measurement is the numerical difference from the true or central value. Relative error is the ratio between absolute error and the true or central value, expressed as a percentage.
Errors can be classified by source, magnitude, and sign. There are three types of errors: systematic, random, and gross.
