This study introduces an intelligent deep learning framework for industrial defect recognition, improving fault classification accuracy and efficiency. The novel voting policy enhances real-time visual inspection and quality control in manufacturing.
Area of Science:
- Computer Vision
- Machine Learning
- Industrial Automation
Background:
- Traditional industrial inspection methods are complex, time-consuming, and error-prone, hindering effective quality control.
- Existing intelligent models often sacrifice real-time performance for accuracy, limiting their practical application in manufacturing.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop an efficient, rapid, and intelligent model for industrial product fault recognition and classification.
- To enhance visual inspection and quality control processes through improved defect detection.
Main Methods:
- Proposed an ensemble deep learning framework utilizing a model architectural voting policy.
- The voting policy considers model optimality, efficiency, and performance accuracy for feature learning.
- Validated the framework on three publicly available industrial product datasets.
Main Results:
