Abstract
AbstractSurface defects in industrial refrigerator manufacturing processes can cause significant production losses and compromise product quality. This area is underexplored and currently, visual quality inspection is a subjective process that requires expert intervention, which limits process efficiency and can lead to errors in defect detection. This paper presents a novel approach for automatic surface defect detection using a combination of convolutional neural networks (CNN) and deflectometry. The proposed method takes advantage of the high accuracy and robustness of CNNs in image classification tasks and the sensitivity of deflectometry to detect subtle surface variations. First, a prototype was built to get the images from the refrigerator. Second, using video recordings, we captured surface topographic data using deflectometry, which we then use to generate surface images. Next, we train a CNN to classify the surface images as defective or normal. The proposed method offers a promising solution for automatic detection and quality control of surface defects in refrigerator manufacturing processes. However, this method could also improve the production of vehicles, household appliances in general, and any product that can suffer scratches and dents.
