Abstract
Automated inspection technology based on computer vision is now widely used in the manufacturing industry with high speed and accuracy. However, metal parts always appear in high gloss or shadow on the surface, resulting in the overexposure of the captured images. It is necessary to adjust the light direction and view to keep defects out of overexposure and shadow areas. However, it is too tedious to adjust the position of the light direction and view the variety of parts' geometries. To address this problem, we design a photometric-stereo-based defect detection system (PSBDDS), which combines the photometric stereo with defect detection to eliminate the interference of highlights and shadows. Based on the PSBDDS, we introduce a photometric-stereo-based defect detection framework, which takes images captured in multiple directional lights as input and obtains the normal map through the photometric stereo model. Then, the detection model uses the normal map as input to locate and classify defects. Existing learning-based photometric stereo methods and defect detection methods have achieved good performance in their respective fields. However, photometric stereo datasets and defect detection datasets are not sufficient for training and testing photometric-stereo-based defect detection methods, thus we create a photometric stereo defect detection (PSDD) dataset using our PSBDDS to eliminate gaps between learning-based photometric stereo and defect detection methods. Furthermore, experimental results prove the effectiveness of the proposed PSBBD and PSDD dataset.
