Abstract:The synergistic optimization of accuracy and real-time performance in online paper defect detection represents a core bottleneck for quality control in high-speed papermaking production lines. Taking YOLOv8n as the baseline model, the study proposed a lightweight framework that integrated re-parameterized convolution with position-sensitive multi-query attention (C2PMQA). Through the collaborative optimization of three core modules: partial depthwise separable convolution (PDSConv), re-parameterized ConvNeXt-enhanced C2f (RCNXC2f), and C2PMQA, the proposed framework achieved parameter reduction, multi-scale feature extraction, and global-local feature fusion. Furthermore, a non-maximum suppression (NMS-Free) strategy incorporating a lightweight detection head (LWHead) was adopted to enable end-to-end inference, resulting in a re-parameterized attention lightweight YOLOv8 model. Validation on a dataset comprising four typical defect types (dark spots, holes, wrinkles, and scratches) demonstrated that the proposed model achieved improved feature extraction capability, parameter efficiency, and inference speed. Specifically, it attained a mean average precision (mAP₅₀) of 99.2%, with only 1.35 MB of parameter size and 3.07 GFLOPs of computational volume. On the RTX 4060 GPU, the inference frame rate reached 175 FPS, satisfying the requirements of a 600 m/min high-speed paper machine.
