• Abstract summary: We propose a model based on Retina drilling defects in X-ray images of turbine blades. The application is challenging due to the image resolutions in which defects are very small and hardly captured by the commonly used anchor sizes. We validate the model with $3$-fold cross-validation, showing a very high accuracy in identifying images with defects.

• Abstract: Nondestructive testing (NDT) is widely applied to defect identification of turbine components during manufacturing and operation. Operational efficiency is key for gas turbine OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers). Automating the inspection process as much as possible, while minimizing the uncertainties involved, is thus crucial. We propose a model based on RetinaNet to identify drilling defects in X-ray images of turbine blades. The application is challenging due to the large image resolutions in which defects are very small and hardly captured by the commonly used anchor sizes, and also due to the small size of the available dataset. As a matter of fact, all these issues are pretty common in the application of Deep Learning-based object detection models to industrial defect data. We overcome such issues using open source models, splitting the input images into tiles and scaling them up, applying heavy data augmentation, and optimizing the anchor size and aspect ratios with a differential evolution solver. We validate the model with $3$-fold cross-validation, showing a very high accuracy in identifying images with defects. We also define a set of best practices which can help other practitioners overcome similar challenges.

  This paper proposes a novel Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) based model for anomaly detection. It uses normal (non-anomalous) images to learn about the normality based on which it detects if an input image contains an anomalous/threat object. Experiments are performed on three datasets, viz. CIFAR-10, MVTec AD (for industrial applications) and SIXray (for X-ray baggage security)
