Castings and sand cores can have defects that are difficult or impossible to detect during inspection with classic rule-based image processing.

 With the help of artificial intelligence, these defects, whose appearance is unpredictable, can be detected. The neural networks are automatically calculated and trained using image databases with good and bad images.

 Another advantage of DeepLearning is its strong performance in OCR applications.

Here, even difficult digits with poor contrast or cast can be read reliably.
