AUTOMATED BEAD DETECTION AND DETECTION TRAINING

Abstract:

A system and method for training a bead detection system can include identifying a starting region on a bead based on a starting indicator. The bead can be analyzed at the starting region to identify bead characteristics. The bead can then be analyzed away from the starting region, based on the identified bead characteristics, to identify a bead profile for use during non-training bead inspection.
