This research focuses toward improving real-time product quality control performed via vision sensors and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) for defect detection in an automated manner. The research uses modern CNN models such as You Only Look Once (YOLO), Region-based Convolutional Neural Network (Faster R-CNN), Residual Networks (ResNet), and SSD Single Shot MultiBox Detector for detecting and classifying a variety of product failures such as scratches, dents, breaks, and assembly inconsistencies. Vision sensors take numerous high-resolution images of products on the line and feed them into CNN models for real-time defect detection and analysis. The research also includes the overall analysis of each CNN model regarding its accuracy, precision, recall, and other real metrics to demonstrate their performances in various defect detection scenarios. This work provides a deep dive with an accurate comparison across the three models to deliver a smarter and efficient quality assurance process that aims at increasing accuracy in product inspection. This allows us to combine CNNs with vision sensors for more accurate and also faster processing times suitable in high-speed manufacturing environment. The research has developed a concept-to-production methodology that is set to revolutionize automated defect detection technologies in both improving the quality of products and lowering inspection costs.
