Plastic filaments are used in a fastly growing industry of 3D printing using the Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) method. A poor quality of spool winding can negatively impact the printing process. On the other hand, producing high-quality filament winding is surprisingly difficult to achieve consistently. The thesis proposes a holistic approach to inspect winding quality during the winding process. We suggest tracking reflections of bright visible light. This method seems robust enough to track filament color from black to white and even transparent materials. Furthermore, it is possible to run everything on cheap and widely available Raspberry Pi 4 B with Camera Module v2. The system uses classical computer vision approaches for filtering, segmentation, and inter-frame tracking of individual filament strands between video frames. It was confirmed to be fast enough to process 30 FPS footage directly on the Raspberry Pi in real-time. Additionally, the GUI tool for quick dataset annotation of spool winding images was created along with a small dataset. Both might be useful for the future development of a system, which would predict the quality issues earlier when corrective action can still be carried out to prevent them. 1
