Why use a deep
learning CV solution
for automated inspections?

Deep Learning is a recognition technique that allows inspection systems to find mistakes more consistently and in a wider variety of situations.

Deep learning systems are best suited for computer vision automated inspection, they:

Adapt to the changing conditions typ ical of a factory changing lines and products
Improve over time
and with more data

Inspect complex surfaces

Operate without any on-site (client-based) knowledge of vision algorithm design

How does Deep Learning compare to a Classical approach for automated inspections?

Deep Learning is a data-driven process that builds an algorithm based on good and bad example images of an inspection point that is so complex a human could not do it themselves. The algorithm gets better with more data and more time. Inspection cameras can then catch subtle and varied mistakes in numerous situations. It can also handle far more complex visuals than a classical approach. Deep learning systems can look for everything at once, rather than looking for one specific type of failure.
The Classical approach to computer vision solutions is to create hand-coded algorithms and treat a picture as a bunch of values. The Classical approach algorithms are created by a human and are limited in the amount of complexity they can manage. Classical requires a programming expert be on-site to create and manage algorithms for the automated inspection.
