As the performance requirements for printed circuit boards (PCBs) in electronic devices continue to increase, reliable defect detection during PCB manufacturing is vital. However, due to the small size, complex categories, and subtle differences in defect features, traditional detection methods are limited in accuracy and robustness. To overcome these challenges, this paper proposes MAS-YOLO, a lightweight detection algorithm for PCB defect detection based on improved YOLOv12 architecture. In the Backbone, a Median-enhanced Channel and Spatial Attention Block (MECS) expands the receptive field through median enhancement and depthwise convolution to generate attention maps that effectively capture subtle defect features. In the Neck, an Adaptive Hierarchical Feature Integration Network (AHFIN) adaptively fuses multi-scale features through weighted integration, enhancing feature utilization and focus on defect regions. Moreover, the original YOLOv12 loss function is replaced with the Slide Alignment Loss (SAL) to improve bounding box localization and detect complex defect types. Experimental results demonstrate that MAS-YOLO significantly improves mean average precision (mAP) and frames per second (FPS) compared to the original YOLOv12, fulfilling real-time industrial detection requirements.

With the intensification of global climate change, the frequent occurrence of typhoon disaster events has become a great challenge to the sustainable development of cities around the world; thus, it is of great significance to carry out the assessment of typhoon-directed economic losses. Typhoon disaster loss assessment faces key challenges, including complex regional environments, scarce historical data, difficulties in multi-source heterogeneous data fusion, and challenges in quantifying assessment uncertainties. Meanwhile, existing studies often overlook the complex relationship between the spatial expansion of urban and rural construction (SEURC) and typhoon disaster losses, particularly their differential manifestations across different regions and disaster intensities. To address these issues, this study proposes CLPFT (Comprehensive Uncertainty Assessment Framework for Typhoon), an innovative assessment framework integrating prototype learning and uncertainty quantification through a UProtoMLP neural network. Results demonstrate three key findings: (1) By introducing prototype learning, a meta-learning approach, to guide model updates, we achieved precise assessments with small training samples, attaining an MAE of 1.02, representing 58.5–76.1% error reduction compared to conventional machine learning algorithms. This reveals that implicitly classifying typhoon disaster loss types through prototype learning can significantly improve assessment accuracy in data-scarce scenarios. (2) By designing a dual-path uncertainty quantification mechanism, we realized high-reliability risk assessment, with 95.45% of actual loss values falling within predicted confidence intervals (theoretical expectation: 95%). This demonstrates that the dual-path uncertainty quantification mechanism can provide statistically credible risk boundaries for disaster prevention decisions, significantly enhancing the practical utility of assessment results. (3) Further investigation through controlling dynamic assessment factors revealed significant regional heterogeneity in the relationship between SEURC and directed economic losses. Furthermore, the study found that when typhoon intensity reaches a critical value, the relationship shifts from negative to positive correlation. This indicates that typhoon disaster loss assessment should consider the interaction between urban resilience and typhoon intensity, providing important implications for disaster prevention and mitigation decisions. This paper provides a more comprehensive and accurate assessment method for evaluating typhoon disaster-directed economic losses and offers a scientific reference for determining the influencing factors of typhoon-directed economic loss assessments.

Deep learning has significantly reshaped the landscape of remote sensing change detection (RSCD). However, detecting subtle changes remains a formidable challenge due to the simultaneous presence of three critical issues: domain shift from seasonal and illumination variations, severe class imbalance between change and background areas, and the need for high deployment efficiency. To address these multifaceted problems in a unified manner, this paper introduces SDTNet, a comprehensive framework featuring three key innovations. First, to counter domain shift, we propose the Style-Unified Temporal Difference Contrastive Learning Strategy (STDCL), a novel, fine-grained contrastive learning method that guides the model to decouple real from pseudo changes without incurring additional inference costs. Second, to mitigate severe class imbalance, we design the Adaptive Dice Focal Loss (ADFLoss), which, unlike static loss functions, introduces two novel adaptive factors to dynamically balance sample weights and implement a curriculum learning strategy. Third, for efficient feature enhancement, we present the Dual-Branch Temporal Difference Transformer (DTDFormer), an efficiency-aware architecture that adapts the differential attention mechanism for bi-temporal inputs and incorporates a sparse attention module to reduce computational complexity. Experimental results demonstrate that our integrated SDTNet framework achieves state-of-the-art (SOTA) performance across five large-scale change detection datasets.
