Abstract

Packaging Standards; Packaging quality is key in the modern industrial sector where defects can cost-businesses large sums and harm their brand, image. Conventional ways of inspection are time-consuming, labour intensive and error prone, unsuitable for modern production. The project explores the use of machine learning, more specifically differently structured Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), in order to automatically detect defects within industrial packages. Here, we compare three CNN models: ResNet50, VGG16 and Mobile Net using industrial packaging images dataset from Kaggle. As a result, it was found that Mobile Net achieved the best accuracy/speed/compute combination with respect to other models. The system was extended to perform real-time defect detection on video streams, enabling frame-by-frame analysis directly from production footage. In this paper, we discussed the power of CNNs to modernize industrial manufacturing inspection with automatic defect detection and oriented focus towards speed improvement as well.
