A method that uses machine vision and machine learning technologies to identify the end-head in a steel coil has seldom been proposed. In this study, an improved faster region-based convolutional neural network (F-RCNN) deep learning algorithm is introduced to identify the position of the steel coil end-head for a hardware system set up for image sensing and detection. The feature pyramid network (FPN) and the parallel attention module (PAM), which are both involved in the traditional F-RCNN, are used to increase the detection accuracy. Our experimental results validated the effectiveness of the proposed improved algorithm.
