Abstract
Ensuring the reliability of deep learning models in real-time industrial defect detection is critical for high-stakes quality inspection. To mine uncertain samples within continuous industrial media streams, thereby enhancing the reliability of the detection system, this paper proposes a streaming active learning method based on the Fuzzy Dual-dimensional Uncertainty (FuDU) framework. Specifically, we first design a Prototype-based Global Uncertainty Quantification (PGUQ) module on the backbone to evaluate image-level uncertainty via normal/defective feature prototypes. A Dual-entropy defect Uncertainty Evaluator (DeUE) is then integrated into the detection head to quantify box-level uncertainty. Finally, by modeling uncertainty as systematic error, we propose a fuzzy dual-dimensional uncertainty-aware strategy that leverages fuzzy inference to fuse dual-dimensional uncertainties, enabling expert knowledge-driven adaptive sampling decisions. Comprehensive experiments demonstrate that FuDU is efficient and flexible, making it well-suited for challenging industrial inspection tasks such as the detection of nuclear fuel rod defects.
