摘要

Ensuring the operational safety and integrity of gas pipelines, which are critical components of urban infrastructure, is paramount. However, the accurate and efficient detection of defects remains a significant challenge. To address this challenge, we propose a Lite Distance-Content aware DEtection TRansformer (L-DC-DETR). Our main contributions are threefold: First, to reduce computational complexity, we introduce a lite encoder that reduces computational complexity by alternately updating feature maps at different scales and selectively processing only the top-K high-resolution features. Second, to improve the quality of decoder queries, we introduce a Cascade High-Quality Query Selection (CHQQS) module that evaluates query quality, retaining high-quality queries as decoder input and mitigating interference from low-quality ones. Finally, to enhance the detection of small defects, we design a Distance-Content aware Deformable Attention (DCDA) decoder, which improves focus on small targets by calculating the distance and content correlation between features. Experimental results on our self-built gas pipeline defect (PIP-DET) dataset and the public NEU-DET dataset demonstrate that L-DC-DETR outperforms existing mainstream methods, verifying its effectiveness.The source code is available at https://github.com/delerpo/LDC-DETR.
