[AI Image Inspection Case] Cracks in the Peripheral Area

We will inspect the cracks on the outer surface of special steel tools using AI inspection software!

This is an inquiry from a manufacturer of special steel parts such as automotive components. We have decided to conduct a simple verification regarding cracks in the riveting area. In visual inspections conducted by workers, there is often variability in the criteria for determining "good" and "defective" products among inspectors, and the more ambiguous the judgment based on severity, the more inconsistent the inspection results tend to be. We propose stable and efficient inspections using image analysis. 【Inspection Settings and Results】 It was determined that inspecting cracks on the outer circumference is difficult, as they cannot be captured from above, and side imaging tends to misdetect shadows from the uneven shape. In the range we verified, diagonal surfaces cast shadows when imaged from above, making it impossible to capture the cracks themselves. Detection from the side is also unstable, making inspection of these diagonal surfaces challenging. However, cracks on the upper surface that can be captured from above were detectable. Additionally, the presence or absence of burrs was also detectable from above. Our company website offers a free trial of our inspection software online. You can actually experience inspection software that uses AI (deep learning).
