Hi! Hopefully this is a good place to ask. I’ve been googling around a fair bit, but haven’t had much luck- I’m either finding ELI5 type articles, or in depth tutorials on setting up a model to tell the difference between a frog and a dog. I’m not sure if those are relevant to my concept.
I would like to implement a ML algorithm to detect a particular type of defect on a production line. Our current camera system isn’t quite up to the task, but gives good, consistent imagery, and I have a good historical dataset. The product moves past the camera, it snaps a single black and white image, then the product moves on. This means that most of my images are more or less the same. These defects are obvious to the human eye.
Could someone please give me, a noob, a bird’s eye view of how I would go about using ML to create a model for this? There’s so many choices of tools and tutorials that I don’t know which would be best suited to this use case.
Have photos in two datasets, with and without the failures. Read about feature extraction, and play with https://scikit-image.org/docs/stable/auto_examples/features_detection/plot_hog.html then go into support vector machine (sklearn). Good luck!
Excellent, thank you for your guidance!
