In this study, an artificial intelligence-based quality control system was developed for the automatic detection and classification of defects in a tile. The dataset created to reduce human-induced errors in the production process and increase inspection accuracy consists of a total of 405 images.
During the model development phase, CNN, MobileNetV2, ResNet50, and EfficientNetB0 architectures were used. The performance of the models was evaluated using the 10-fold cross-validation method for an objective comparison.
The experimental results show that the EfficientNetB0 architecture achieved the highest performance with an accuracy rate of 96.73%. ResNet50 achieved 95.45%, CNN achieved 94.91%, and MobileNetV2 achieved 92.36% accuracy.
