Classical ML Method
Feature Crafting - filter banks, morphological operations,
histograms and transforms
Classification - hand crafted rule based decision making (SVM,
decision tree, k NN)
Limitations
Heavy reliance on crafted features (complex defects, background)
Inflexibility (not adaptable to diverse aircraft / defects)
Performance saturation with increasing amount of data

Problem Statement
Primary Objective
To develop a computer vision and deep learning based methodology for
automated detection of surface defects on aircraft external structure
using images / videos captured through an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle
Associated Expectations
Detection of multiple defect classes viz. Crack, Dent, Paint
Peel-off, Scratch, Missing Rivet
Defect recognition and classification (labelling)
Flexibility of application over multiple aircraft types
fine-tuning parameters
maximize batch size optimizing image resolution
lower initial learning rate without weight decay
