R-CNN-Based Large-Scale Object-Defect Inspection System for Laser Cutting in the Automotive Industry

A car side-outer is an iron mold that is applied in the design and safety of the side of a vehicle, and is subjected to a complicated and detailed molding process. The side-outer has three features that make its quality inspection difficult to automate: (1) it is large; (2) there are many objects to...
