Abstract

Quantity control is as important as quality control for those products manufactured in the mass production phase. However, there is scarce work implementing deep learning methods in the manufacturing line, especially in wiper arm recognition. This paper proposed a deep learning-based wiper arm recognition for the windshield wiper manufacturer to reduce human error and workforce requirement in quantity control. The proposed method applied the state-of-the-art YOLOv4 object detection algorithm. Our proposed method able to achieve 100% in terms of precision, recall, F1-score, and mean average precision. Moreover, the proposed method can make correct predictions under several conditions: object occlusion, different scales of objects, and different light environments. In term of speed, the proposed method can be predicted up to 30.55 fps when using a moderate GPU.
