Vision-Based Defect Detection System – Machines Can See Now!

Computer Vision (CV) is a field of artificial intelligence concerned with giving machines the ability to analyze and extract meaningful information from digital images, videos, and other visual input, as well as take actions or make recommendations based on the extracted information. Decades of research in the field of CV have led to the development of powerful Machine Learning (ML)-based vision algorithms that are capable of classifying images into some pre-defined categories, detecting objects from images, understanding written content from digital images, and detecting actions being performed in videos. Such vision algorithms have given businesses and organizations the ability to analyze large amounts of digital content (images and videos) and also automate processes to make instant decisions.

CV-based algorithms have changed the way we interact with smart devices in our day-to-day life – for example,...
