Abstract: In order to achieve automatic identification of gear appearance defects and improve the qualification rate of gear products, aiming at the generalization of traditional defect recognition algorithms and the time-consuming of manual features extraction, this paper proposes an improved gear flaw detection algorithm for Faster R-CNN. VGG-2CF network is designed to improve the ability to identify smaller targets. Introducing AM-Softmax loss function is introduced to reduce the intra-class variation and optimize the inter-class difference. Combining with F-measure in machine learning algorithm, an AMF-Softmax loss function is proposed to solve the problem of data imbalance. The experimental results show the improved model proposed in the paper has a high recognition rate and is suitable for automatic detection of gear appearance.
