[AI Image Inspection Case] Washer Discrimination

The AI image inspection software also identifies size differences and spring washers as washers!

This is an experiment to see if it is possible to distinguish a washer by annotating just one M5 washer in a single image and conducting 100 steps of learning with that one image. The left image shows the annotation (the task of enclosing to help remember what to find), while the right image places the M5 washer in the center with washers of different sizes on either side for verification. 【Inspection Settings and Results】 The washer could be found regardless of where it was placed on the screen. Even when multiple washers were placed and the lighting changed slightly, it was still able to identify them. The orientation did not matter, and for items with little variation, it could distinguish them with minimal learning. It recognized washers of different sizes and spring washers as washers. Nuts (with some shape variations) were also distinguished as washers. Items like mints, clips, and rollers in stock were identified as not being washers. It seems that items that are too large are not considered washers, while smaller items were recognized as washers. When an M5 washer was placed in between, it was clear that even though only one M5 washer had been taught, it was still able to make proper comparisons.
