Camera inspection cell with a reject signal
Build an inspection station that photographs parts, finds defects with a model and sends a pass or reject signal to a controller.
The brief
A human inspector tires after an hour; a camera does not. Build a small inspection cell where a camera photographs each part, a model finds defects without needing many defect examples, and a pass or reject signal goes to a PLC or microcontroller that moves a gate. Good looks like: the model tested on parts it has never seen, a measured time per part, and a clear rule for borderline cases that go to a human.
What you will build
- Choose parts and set up lighting and camera
- Train an anomaly model on good parts
- Test on defective parts and set the threshold
- Send pass and reject signals to a controller
- Measure time per part and error rates
- Route borderline parts to a person
