Generative AI-enhanced synthetic X-ray augmentation with gradient-based selection for battery detection in WEEE
Automated detection of batteries in Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) using X-ray imaging is critical for safe recycling, yet collecting large annotated real-world datasets remains prohibitively expensive and hazardous. This paper proposes a three-stage synthetic data pipeline to improve battery detection under limited labeled data conditions. First, dual-energy X-ray images are generated using physics-based ray-casting in Blender with automatic pixel-level annotation. Second, the
