An EfficientNet-Based Deep Learning Framework for Automated Container Damage Detection

Yang Shi, Zixiang Wei, Hangyu Li, Zifan Wang, Yuting Ye

Abstract


With the continuous advancement of artificial intelligence and computer vision, intelligent visual inspection technology has become
increasingly important in modern port automation. Traditional manual methods for container damage detection are inefficient and prone to
human bias, making them unsuitable for large-scale maritime logistics. To address these issues, this study proposes an improved EfficientNetbased deep learning framework that integrates adaptive preprocessing, a weighted cross-entropy loss function, and cosine annealing learning
rate optimization. The proposed model effectively enhances the recognition of dents, corrosion, and perforations under complex lighting and
background conditions. Experimental results on a dataset of 3, 713 images demonstrate that the model achieves an accuracy of 95.8%, a recall
of 93.6%, an F1-score of 0.945, and a mean average precision (mAP@0.5) of 0.94, surpassing the baseline EfficientNet-B0 by 5.4%. The
lightweight and efficient design of the framework ensures real-time inference capability, providing a practical and scalable solution for intelligent port inspection and maritime safety management.
