image classification dataset on carbon fiber reinforcement quality control

Image classification dataset on carbon fiber quality control.

To represent a practical quality control problem, a dataset was generated using carbon plain weave with a grammage of 200g/m². Pieces of the weave, measuring 300x300 mm², were cut using a CNC cutter table. Two such pieces were stacked, with a binder applied between them for shape stability after the forming process. The formed stacks were then scanned using a high-resolution camera mounted on a robotic arm, resulting in 500 images of the textiles' surfaces in three-dimensional shape. The images were then cropped to 341x384 pixels patches and transformed to grayscale.

Each patch was classified into one of three classes: normal textile, gap, or fold. Images that were blurred, out of focus, or had bad contrast were sorted out. The dataset has not yet been released, and will be available upon the acceptance of the document.
