    Abstract

    CNN (Convolutional Neural Network) is a powerful method for image classifying tasks. CNN's classifying capability is assessed by using large-scale image dataset such as ImageNet in many papers, but few works on CNN with small-scale dataset have been reported. We have been researching application method of Neural Network for classifying tasks in real-world for years [1]. In this work, we applied CNN to a quality inspection of industrial products and assessed its classifying capacity. Our CNN was trained with 2000 images of eggs taken in a factory, classified the images of almost 89,000 eggs into 6 qualities. Our method of combining multi-angle images into 1 image retained the 3-dimensional features of the object, and improved the classification accuracy to 92.3%. It confirmed that CNN is also effective for the quality inspection of industrial products.
