Area of Science:
- Industrial Safety
- Artificial Intelligence
- Non-Destructive Testing
Background:
- Wire rope integrity is crucial for industrial safety and equipment operation.
- Automated broken wire detection using deep learning, specifically YOLOv8, shows promise.
- The 'black box' nature of deep learning models presents a trust challenge in critical applications.
Purpose of the Study:
- To address the trust and interpretability challenges of deep learning models in wire rope broken wire detection.
- To propose and evaluate a novel perturbation-based interpretability method, ESTC.
- To validate the reliability of YOLOv8 for detecting wire breaks by comparing its decision-making process with expert knowledge.
Main Methods:
- Development of ESTC (Eliminating Splicing and Truncation Compensation), a perturbation-based interpretability technique.
- Comparison of ESTC with existing model-agnostic interpretability methods (LIME, RISE, D-RISE).
- Application of these methods to a YOLOv8 object detection model trained on electromagnetic signal images of wire rope.
Main Results:
- ESTC demonstrated objective superiority over LIME, RISE, and D-RISE in interpretability analysis.
- The interpretability analysis confirmed that the YOLOv8 model's predictions align with prior knowledge from manual rope inspection.
- The proposed ESTC method enhances the credibility of using object detection for broken wire detection.
Conclusions:
- The ESTC method provides a reliable way to interpret deep learning models used for wire rope defect detection.
- This interpretability boosts confidence in the practical application of AI for ensuring industrial safety.
- The study highlights the importance of interpretability in critical infrastructure monitoring.
