Short summary
Our research introduces an innovative method to improve the quality control of plastic granules, crucial in industries like manufacturing and automotive. We addressed a common issue: identifying "burn marks" on granules caused by overheating during processing. By combining advanced machine learning and a novel data augmentation technique called "cutout", we significantly enhanced the detection accuracy of these defects.
