This paper presents an improved method for recognizing the drill state on the basis of hole images drilled in a laminated chipboard, using convolutional neural network (CNN) and data augmentation techniques. Three classes were used to describe the drill state: red -- for drill that is worn out and should be replaced, yellow -- for state in which the system should send a warning to the operator, indicating that this element should be checked manually, and green -- denoting the drill that is still in good condition, which allows for further use in the production process. The presented method combines the advantages of transfer learning and data augmentation methods to improve the accuracy of the received evaluations. In contrast to the classical deep learning methods, transfer learning requires much smaller training data sets to achieve acceptable results. At the same time, data augmentation customized for drill wear recognition makes it possible to expand the original dataset and to improve the overall accuracy. The experiments performed have confirmed the suitability of the presented approach to accurate class recognition in the given problem, even while using a small original dataset.

Image segmentation is an essential step in image analysis that brings meaning to the pixels in the image. Nevertheless, it is also a difficult task due to the lack of a general suited approach to this problem and the use of real-life pictures that can suffer from noise or object obstruction. This paper proposes an architecture for semantic segmentation using a convolutional neural network based on the Xception model, which was previously used for classification. Different experiments were made in order to find the best performances of the model (eg. different resolution and depth of the network and data augmentation techniques were applied). Additionally, the network was improved by adding a deformable convolution module. The proposed architecture obtained a 76.8 mean IoU on the Pascal VOC 2012 dataset and 58.1 on the Cityscapes dataset. It outperforms SegNet and U-Net networks, both networks having considerably more parameters and also a higher inference time.

In this paper, we introduce Random Erasing, a new data augmentation method for training the convolutional neural network (CNN). In training, Random Erasing randomly selects a rectangle region in an image and erases its pixels with random values. In this process, training images with various levels of occlusion are generated, which reduces the risk of over-fitting and makes the model robust to occlusion. Random Erasing is parameter learning free, easy to implement, and can be integrated with most of the CNN-based recognition models. Albeit simple, Random Erasing is complementary to commonly used data augmentation techniques such as random cropping and flipping, and yields consistent improvement over strong baselines in image classification, object detection and person re-identification. Code is available at: https://github.com/zhunzhong07/Random-Erasing.

AbstractFinding the correct category of wear particles is important to understand the tribological behavior. However, manual identification is tedious and time-consuming. We here propose an automatic morphological residual convolutional neural network (M-RCNN), exploiting the residual knowledge and morphological priors between various particle types. We also employ data augmentation to prevent performance deterioration caused by the extremely imbalanced problem of class distribution. Experimental results indicate that our morphological priors are distinguishable and beneficial to largely boosting overall performance. M-RCNN demonstrates a much higher accuracy (0.940) than the deep residual network (0.845) and support vector machine (0.821). This work provides an effective solution for automatically identifying wear particles and can be a powerful tool to further analyze the failure mechanisms of artificial joints.
