Application of Deep-learning Method to Surface Anomaly Detection

Abstract: In traditional industrial manufacturing, due to the limitations of science and technology, manual inspection methods are still used to detect product surface defects. This method is slow and inefficient due to manual limitations and backward technology. The aim of this thesis is to research whether it is possible to automate this using modern computer hardware and image classification of defects using different deep learning methods. The report concludes, based on results from controlled experiments, that it is possible to achieve a dice coefficient of more than 81%.
