A Data-Centric Approach to Design and Analysis of a Surface-Inspection System Based on Deep Learning in the Plastic Injection Molding Industry

Manufacturers are eager to replace the human inspector with automatic inspection systems to improve the competitive advantage by means of quality. However, some manufacturers have failed to apply the traditional vision system because of constraints in data acquisition and feature extraction. In this...

A Data-Centric Approach to Design and Analysis of a Surface-Inspection System Based on Deep Learning in the Plastic Injection Molding Industry
