Quality Control: Detect Visual Defects on Products Using Image Processing and Deep Learning

Computer vision, a prominent subfield of artificial intelligence, has gained widespread util-ization in diverse domains such as surveillance, security, and robotics. This research en-deavors to develop an semi-automated defect detection system serving as a quality controlassurance mechanism for Nolato MediTor, a manufacturing company within the medicaldevice industries engaged in the production of anesthesia breathing bags. The primary fo-cus of this study revolves around the detection of a specific defect, namely, holes. Withinthe context of Nolato MediTor, prioritizing recall (sensitivity) assumes utmost signific-ance as it entails favoring the rejection of functional breathing bags over the inadvertentacceptance of defective ones. The proposed system encompasses a robust metallic standfacilitating precise positioning for three distinct camera angles, accompanied by a XiaomiRedmi Note 11 Pro phone and a software component, designed to process incoming imagefolders representing a complete view of a breathing bag from multiple angles. Subsequently,these images undergo analysis using the learned weights derived from the implementedMask R-CNN model, enabling a cohesive assessment of the breathing bag. The system’sperformance was rigorously evaluated, and the best-performing weights demonstrated aremarkable recall rate of 0.995 for the first test set, exceeding the desired recall thresholdof 95%. Similarly, for the second test set, the recall rate achieved an impressive value of0.949, narrowly missing the 95% threshold by a marginal 0.001. Furthermore, the com-putational efficiency, quantified as the processing time per breathing bag, on average, thelongest duration recorded amounted to approximately 10.151 seconds, with the poten-tial for further enhancement by employing a higher standard GPU. This study serves as aproof of concept, demonstrating the feasibility of achieving semi-automated quality controlutilizing CNN. The implemented system represents a promising prototype with potentialscalability for improved operational conditions and expanded defect coverage, thus pavingthe way towards a fully automated quality control within large-scale industries.
