I korthet
This Master Thesis project at Volvo Penta in Vara, Sweden, focuses on developing a Computer Vision solution to automatically identify completed manual assembly activities. The project involves designing, evaluating, and comparing relevant computer vision and machine learning methods suitable for an industrial production environment.
Ansvarsområden
- Investigate how a Computer Vision-based solution can identify completed work activities at a manual assembly station.
- Design and evaluate a concept for using image or video data to identify defined assembly activities.
- Evaluate and compare relevant Computer Vision and neural-network-based methods for analysis.
- Collect image and/or video data from the selected workstation at Volvo Penta’s Vara Factory.
- Define assembly activities to be identified and annotate relevant objects, activities, or process states.
- Create training, validation, and test datasets.
- Observe variations in how activities are performed.
