Need to implement visual inspection for detecting defects on assembly line. Parts move pretty fast (about 2 per second) and need to catch scratches, dents, and missing components. Anyone have experience with this? What kind of cameras and lighting setup works best? Also wondering about the AI side - should i train my own model or use something pre-trained?

For industrial inspection you definitely want good lighting - consider ring lights or backlighting depending on what you're inspecting. Camera wise, look at industrial cameras with global shutter to avoid motion blur. Basler and FLIR make good ones. For the AI model, you'll probably need to train your own since defects are specific to your parts. Start with a model like efficientnet and fine-tune it with your data. Collect lots of images of both good and defective parts.
