EasySegment is the segmentation tool of Deep Learning Bundle. EasySegment performs defect detection and segmentation. It identifies parts that contain defects, and precisely pinpoints where they are in the image.
– The supervised mode of EasySegment works by learning a model of what is a defect and what is a “good” part in an image. This is done by training with images annotated with the expected segmentation. Then, the tool can be used to detect and segment the defects in new images.
The supervised mode of EasySegment achieves better precision and can segment more complex defects than the unsupervised mode thanks to the knowledge of the expected segmentation.
– The unsupervised mode of EasySegment works by learning a model of what is a “good” sample (i.e. a sample without any defect). This is done by training it only with images of “good” samples.
Then, the tool can be used to classify new images as good or defective and segment the defects from these images. By training only with images of good samples, the unsupervised mode of EasySegment is able to perform inspection even when the type of defect is not known beforehand or when defective samples are not readily available.
