Abstract

Computer vision systems are popular tools for monitoring tasks in highly specialized production environments. The training and configuration, however, still represents a time-consuming task in process automation. Convolutional neural networks have helped to improve the ability to detect even complex anomalies withouth exactly modeling image filters and segmentation strategies for a wide range of application scenarios. In recent publications, image-to-image translation using generative adversarial networks was introduced as a promising strategy to apply patterns to other domains without prior explicit mapping. We propose a new approach for generating augmented data to enable the training of convolutional neural networks for semantic segmentation with a minimum of real labeled data. We present qualitative results and demonstrate the application of our system on textile images of carbon fibers with structural anomalies. This paper compares the potential of image-to-image translation networks with common data augmentation strategies such as image scaling, rotation or mirroring. We train and test on image data acquired from a high resolution camera within an industrial monitoring use case. The experiments show that our system is comparable to common data augmentation approaches. Our approach extends the toolbox of semantic segmentation since it allows for generating more problem-specific training data from sparse input.
