Robust Component Classifier

The service offered was the development of a comprehensive component classification system using object detection, which utilized a tech stack consisting of Python, Keras, TensorFlow, SSD Mobilenet CNN, Kubeflow, GCP, scikit-learn, Flask, and OpenCV to achieve accurate component identification, robustness to image variations, and user-friendly interfaces for potential applications across industries.

The story

The idea was to develop a system that could accurately classify components from images captured at various angles and scales. Additionally, the system needed to recommend similar components from a dataset, enhancing its utility in real-world scenarios. To make the task more challenging, artificial images with different backgrounds were introduced to test the model’s robustness. Achieving an accuracy of over 87% was the primary objective.

The challenge

The main challenge was to create a model capable of component classification and recommendation, regardless of the image’s angle, scale, or background. The variability in real-world images required a solution that could handle diverse data effectively. Ensuring an accuracy rate above 87% was crucial to meet the project’s goals.

The solution

A comprehensive tech stack was employed to address this complex problem. Python, Keras, and TensorFlow provided the foundation for deep learning. The SSD Mobilenet CNN architecture served as the backbone for object detection. Kubeflow and GCP (Google Cloud Platform) offered scalability and cloud-based resources for training and deployment. scikit-learn was used for additional machine learning tasks, while Flask and OpenCV facilitated the development of user-friendly interfaces and image processing.

The outcome

The solution successfully tackled the challenge of component classification using object detection. The model could accurately identify components from images taken at various angles and scales, and it even demonstrated robustness when faced with artificial images with changing backgrounds. The achieved accuracy rate of over 87% validated the effectiveness of the system. This project showcased the power of a well-rounded tech stack and machine learning techniques in solving complex real-world problems, with potential applications in various industries.
