AI Visual System

The Energy sector is undergoing a major transformation

Innovative AI system built to train in defect recognition for industrial QA using image recognition and deep learning.

Context and Challenges

The AI Visual System involves the collaborative work of Infotel developers , AI data scientists, business managers and QA experts to capture and refine banks of images for training in the automated recognition of defects from dents & holes to overpainting & missing elements. The software has been developed to allow for adaptation to pretty much any industrial process, building in variables to:
• fine-tune to different environments and station sensors
• encompass a range of defect types
• apply alternative deep learning models
• enable the future potential to extend from object detection to
anomaly detection and optical character definition

 

 

Goal of Project & Key Success Factors

  • GOAL OF 98% ACCURACY for recognition of defects when deep learning training has reached a valid plateau
  • ACHIEVING HIGH 90s ACCURACY depending on defect task and environment (98% goal on clearer subjects such as holes and missing badges or where conditions are more easily optimized to reduce false positives e.g. low light conditions).
  • Computer vs humans: HUMANS ACHIEVE LOW 90s ACCURACY.
  • Our client have actioned plans to roll out the AI Visual System factory wide , encompassing a range of QA processes in different environments.

 

Project challenges and enhancements

The major challenge / innovation has been in refining to adapt to real industrial environments , ironing out false positives and environment variables, with the objective of producing a stable, scalable and performant system. Challenges include working within processing parameters (power required for images is huge, optimisation key); generating sufficient test samples for training.

Software currently being adapted to enhance visuals to show where defects are on vehicle (can be difficult to spot exactly where a dent is on otherwise featureless panels).

Bottleneck in image capture to data pre processing , to be addressed with plans for point and click automation.
