Development and Implementation of a Defect Detection Model for Microstructures Using Image Processing Methods
2025
The aim of this research is to develop and implement artificial intelligence models for the automatic detection of defects in the microstructures of austempered ductile iron (ADI). Our research used three different approaches, representing various categories of machine learning tasks: image classification (ResNet), pixel-wise segmentation (UNet), and object detection (YOLO). Each of the models were adapted to the specific characteristics of the dataset and tested on a collection of microstructural images prepared …
