Abstract
No assignee for this patent application has been made. Reporters obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors: “Inspection systems for the analysis of moving web materials h ave proven critical to modern manufacturing operations. Industries as varied as metal fabrication, paper, non-wovens, and films rely on these inspection systems for both product certification and online process monitoring. Inspection system s typically utilize data analysis processes that attempt to discriminate good pr oduct from defective product. Some inspection systems utilize machine learning m odels that have been trained to identify defects or anomalies in web materials, sheet parts, and other piece parts from images captured during the manufacturing operations. Training such machine learning models can require large numbers of images representing various types of defects and anomalies, along with images th at do not show defects or anomalies.”
