In this study, we produced the surface defect detection model to automatically detect defect bone plates using a deep learning algorithm. Bone plates with a width and a length of 50 mm are most used for fracture treatment. Normal bone plates and defective bone plates were printed on the 3d printer. Normal bone plates and defective bone plates were photographed with 1,080 pixels using the webcam. The total quantity of collected images was 500. 300 images were used to learn the defect detection model. 200 images were used to test the defect detection model. The mAP(Mean Average Precision) method was used to evaluate the performance of the surface defect detection model. As the result of confirming the performance of the surface defect detection model, the detection accuracy was 96.3 %.

People's interests in coffee are increasing with the expansion of coffee market. In this trend, people's taste becomes more luxurious and coffee bean's quality is considered to be very important. Currently, bean defects are mainly detected by experienced specialists. In this paper, a detection system of bean defects using machine learning is presented. This system concentrates on detecting two main defect types : bean's shape and insect damage. Convolutional Neural Networks are used for machine learning. The neural networks are comprised of two neural networks. The first neural network detects defects in the bean's shape, and the second one detects the bean's insect damage. The development of this system could be a starting point for automated coffee bean defects detection. Later, further research is needed to detect other bean defect types.

In this study, we compared the detection accuracy of the parameters of the scaffold failure detection model. A detection algorithm based on convolutional neural network was used to construct a failure detection model for scaffold. The parameter properties of the model were changed and the results were quantitatively verified. The detection accuracy of the model for each parameter was compared and the parameter with the highest accuracy was identified. We found that the activation function has a significant impact on the detection accuracy, which is 98% for softmax.

Material defects in the Steam Generator Tubes (SGT) of sodium cooled fast breeder reactor (PFBR) can lead to leakage of water into sodium. The water and sodium reaction will lead to major accidents. Therefore, the examination of steam generator tubes for the early detection of defects is an important requirement for safety and economic considerations. In this work, the Magnetic Flux Leakage (MFL) based Non Destructive Testing (NDT) technique is used to perform the defect detection process. The rectangular notch defects on the outer surface of steam generator tubes are modeled using COMSOL multiphysics 4.3a software. The obtained MFL images are de-noised to improve the integrity of flaw related information. Grey Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM) features are extracted from MFL images and taken as input parameter to train the neural network. A comparative study on characterization have been carried out using feed-forward back propagation (FFBP) and cascade-forward back propagation (CFBP) algorithms. The results of both algorithms are evaluated with Mean Square Error (MSE) as a prediction performance measure. The average percentage error for length, depth and width are also computed. The result shows that the feed-forward back propagation network model performs better in characterizing the defects.

In this paper we show the LCD simulator for defect inspection using image processing algorithm and neural network. The defect inspection algorithm of the LCD consists of preprocessing, feature extraction and defect classification. Preprocess removes noise from LCD image, using morphology operator and neural network is used for the defect classification. Sample images with scratch, pinhole, and spot from real LCD color filter image are used. From some experiments results, the proposed algorithms show that defect detected and classified in the ratio of 92.3% and 94.5 respectively. Accordingly, in this paper, a possibility of practical implementation of the LCD defect inspection system is finally suggested.

This study proposes the neural network simulator for the integrity evaluation of weld zone in railway rails. For these purposes, the ultrasonic signals for defects(crack) of weld zone in frames are acquired in the type of time series data and echo strength. The detection of the natural defects in railway truck is performed using the characteristics of echodynamic pattern in ultrasonic signal. And then their applications evaluated feature extraction based on the time-frequency-attractor domain(peak to peak, rise time, rise slope, fall time, fall slope, pulse duration, power spectrum, and bandwidth) and attractor characteristics (fractal dimension and attractor quadrant) etc. The constructed neural network simulator agrees fairly well with the measured results of test block(defect location, beam propagation distance, echo strength, etc). The Proposed neural network simulator in this study can be used for the integrity evaluation of weld zone in railway rails.

In the operation of farms, it is very important to evaluate the quality of harvested crops and to classify defective products. However, farmers have difficulty coping with the cost and time required for quality assessment due to insufficient capital and manpower. This study thus aims to detect defects by analyzing the epidermis of fruit using deep learning algorithm. We developed a model that can analyze the epidermis by applying YOLOv3 algorithm based on Region Convolutional Neural Network to video images of peach. A total of four classes were selected and trained. Through 97,600 epochs, a high performance detection model was obtained. The crop failure detection model proposed in this study can be used to automate the process of data collection, quality evaluation through analyzed data, and defect detection. In particular, we have developed an analytical model for peach, which is the most vulnerable to external wounds among crops, so it is expected to be applicable to other crops in farming.

Bearing plays an important role in the operation of most machinery, Therefore, when a defect occurs in the bearing, a fatal defect throughout the machine is generated. In this reason, bearing defects should be detected early. In this paper, we describe a method using Convolutional Neural Networks (SN-CNNs) based on continuous wavelet transformations and Switchable normalization for bearing defect detection models. The accuracy of the model was measured using the Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) bearing dataset. In addition, batch normalization methods and spectrogram images are used to compare model performance. The proposed model achieved over 99% testing accuracy in CWRU dataset.

Recently, there has been an increased demand for light-emitting diode (LED) due to the growing emphasis on environmental protection. However, the use of GaN-based sapphire in LED manufacturing leads to the generation of defects, such as dislocations caused by lattice mismatch, which ultimately reduces the luminous efficiency of LEDs. Moreover, most inspections for LED semiconductors focus on evaluating the luminous efficiency after packaging. To address these challenges, this paper aims to detect defects at the wafer stage, which could potentially improve the manufacturing process and reduce costs. To achieve this, image processing and deep learning-based defect detection techniques for Sapphire Epi-Wafer used in Green LED manufacturing were developed and compared. Through performance evaluation of each algorithm, it was found that the deep learning approach outperformed the image processing approach in terms of detection accuracy and efficiency.

Tire wear and defect are important factors for safe driving condition. These defects are generally inspected by some specialized experts or very expensive equipments such as stereo depth camera and depth gauge. In this paper, we propose tire safety vision inspector based on deep neural network (DNN). The status of tire wear is categorized into three: 'safety', 'warning', and 'danger' based on depth of tire tread. We propose an attention mechanism for emphasizing the feature of tread area. The attention-based feature is concatenated to output feature maps of the last convolution layer of ResNet-101 to extract more robust feature. Through experiments, the proposed tire wear classification model improves 1.8% of accuracy compared to the existing ResNet-101 model. For detecting the tire defections, the developed tire defect detection model shows up-to 91% of accuracy using the Mask R-CNN model. From these results, we can see that the suggested models are useful for checking on the safety condition of working tire in real environment.
