ProGAN-Based Synthetic Image Generation for Industrial Visual Inspection of Metallic Parts

To address this gap, we study Generative AI-driven synthetic image generation using Progressive Growing GANs (ProGAN).

Key points

  • Automated visual inspection is essential for efficient repair and recycling of metallic components.
  • AI-based defect detection is a strong fit.
  • We implement a ProGAN pipeline with Wasserstein loss and gradient penalty and evaluate key hyperparameters on two public datasets, MVTec AD (metal nut) and MPDD (tube).
  • These images can augment training data, improve robustness, and reduce the cost of collecting rare defects.
