Edge deployment of YOLOv12 and YOLOv26 instance segmentation for real-time steel surface defect inspection

Real-time automated steel surface inspection on the production line is challenging. Defect masks must be produced at the camera’s acquisition rate and within the power envelope of an embedded GPU. This paper evaluates two contrasting YOLO architectures, the attention-centric YOLOv12 and the convolution-centric YOLOv26,...
