NL-MambaXCT: Self-Supervised Nested-Learning Mamba for Nomex Honeycomb X-ray CT Defect Classification

Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: X-ray computed tomography (XCT) is widely used for non-destructive testing of Nomex honeycomb structures in aerospace manufacturing, but industrial inspection still relies heavily on manual interpretation and supervised models trained on limited labeled data. This work introduces NL-MambaXCT, a Mamba-based framework that combines self-supervised masked image modelling with a Nested Learning (NL) formulation for automated, label-efficient defect...
