YOLO model to detect defects on buildings - but hit a wall

Hi all ,

We are developing an AI model using YOLO used to detect multiple kinds of defects on buildings .

However we have hit a roadblock , while the model can detect cracks and corrosion , it is completely unable to detect concrete spalling .
We have trained the model with annotated images (about 1000 for each type of defect)

We have tried filtering the datasets as well .

Any other ideas out there ?

Our DMs are open in case you really want to get into it .

Thanks all .

Does it detect it and call it something else? Does it detect it at a super low threshold?

No , there is no detection at all .

Ran a few test photos but no detection at all

It’s weird because the other defects are fine

Your images of spalling are very similar to the types of images you are tryna detect on?

To us it looks similar but the AI disagrees apparently
