Abstract
Porosity inspection of manufactured parts has traditionally been performed using microscopy manipulated by a human technician. However, the person involved needs experience in this task, and the number of parts that can be inspected per unit of time is limited. The presence of porosity in the material is critical, as it can negatively affect the mechanical properties and the quality of the part. In this paper, we propose to automate the classification of the porosity defects that appear inside the parts manufactured by casting. First, we acquire images from aluminum parts manufactured by two casting methods: a traditional one using sand molding and a more modern one with the Binder Jetting (BJ) additive manufacturing technique. Then, we crop regions with and without pores we later describe using SIFT descriptors encoded into BoVW features to feed and train two SVM classifiers: one for predicting if the image contains a pore or not, and the other for also indicating if the pore detected is due to the effect of gases or by shrinkage during solidification.
