Overview

The lab guides participants through an end-to-end, production-style solution that detects surface defects from manufacturing images, classifies defect severity, and generates natural-language inspection commentary. Participants work with real-world defect scenarios such as crazing, patches, and scratches, using computer vision models to identify and score defects with confidence-based predictions.

What participants work through

  • Combining computer vision with generative AI for insights and recommendations
  • Pre-processing images/frames and detecting anomalies or defects
  • Using retrieval and prompting pipelines to generate natural-language commentary
  • Building dashboards showing visual input, detected issues, and next steps
  • Addressing challenges: lighting, camera calibration, false positives, AI hallucination, human-in-loop review
  • Deploying lightweight prototypes on Azure and managing resource cleanup
