Vision Transformer-Based Multi-Level Feature Fusion for Multi-Label Sewer Defect Classification

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 10, 2026 · UTC

Automated classification of sewer defects is essential for infrastructure condition assessment and maintenance decision-making, but existing deep learning methods struggle to balance classification accuracy and computational complexity in large-scale multi-label scenarios. This study develops Sewer-Transformer-ML, a hierarchical vision Transformer with multi-level feature fusion, together with two lightweight architectures, Sewer-MobileNet-ML and Sewer-Mobile-TransNet, for resource-constrained inspection scenarios. On the Sewer-ML test set, Sewer-Transformer-ML-Base achieved an $F2_{\text{CIW}
