Abstract

The development of computer vision technology is rapid, which supports the automatic quality control of precision components efficiently and reliably. This paper focuses on the application of computer vision technology in manufacturing quality control. A new deep learning algorithm is presented, Multi-angle projective Generative Adversarial Networks (MapGANs), to automatically generate 3D visualization models of products and components. The generated 3D visualization models can intuitively and accurately display the product parameters and indicators. Based on these indicators, our model can accurately determine whether the product meets the standard. The working principle of the MapGANs algorithm is to automatically infer the basic three-dimensional shape distribution through the product's projection module, while using multiple angles and multiple views to improve the fineness and accuracy of the three-dimensional visualization model. The experimental results prove that MapGANs can effectively reconstruct two-dimensional images into three-dimensional visualization models, and meanwhile accurately predict whether the quality of the product meets the standard.
