建設現場の自動溶接ロボット向け転移学習によるシーム分割精度向上：BiSeNetV2の限界克服

原文アブストラクト

Reliable seam segmentation is essential for autonomous robotic welding in construction, where harsh illumination, specular reflections, and thin weld geometries often degrade segmentation performance. This study proposes a reflection-robust seam segmentation framework that enhances a BiSeNetV2 backbone through transfer learning and a hybrid Cross-Entropy--Lovász loss. Rather than increasing architectural complexity, the proposed framework improves reflection robustness through learning-stability-oriented optimization. Experimental results show that the proposed method achieves 81.76\% Joint IoU and 90.73\% mIoU, improving Joint IoU by +22.36 percentage points over the OHEM-based baseline while maintaining identical FLOPs, parameter count, and inference speed. The proposed approach also recovers 96.33\% of severe zero-IoU failure cases under reflective conditions. Comparative experiments across BiSeNetV2, DeepLabV3+, UNet, and SegFormer further demonstrate that the proposed optimization strategy is particularly effective for lightweight real-time segmentation architectures. Qualitative analyses additionally show improved seam continuity and reflection robustness in challenging welding environments. These findings suggest that the proposed framework provides a practical and lightweight perception solution for robotic welding applications involving reflective metallic surfaces.
