Defect Detection

Train AI to detect surface defects — scratches, dents, cracks, and anomalies — in your own manufacturing parts.

The problem

Surface defects are rare, product-specific, and hard to describe with a generic model. Off-the-shelf detectors miss the defects that matter to your line, and sending proprietary part imagery to a vendor cloud is often a non-starter.

Example data

Stamped or machined metal panels, castings, welds, PCBs, and coated surfaces — labeled with classes such as scratch, dent, crack, porosity, or contamination.

How Anastig helps
  1. 1Upload your own inspection images in the browser — no cloud upload is required to annotate.
  2. 2Mark defects with boxes or polygons, accelerated by on-device AI-assisted segmentation (Smart Select).
  3. 3Define your own defect classes and manage negative (defect-free) samples for balanced training.
  4. 4Export a validated YOLO or COCO dataset, then train on a GPU worker your organization controls.

What you get

A defect detector trained on your parts and built by your inspectors — not only ML engineers — with proprietary imagery kept inside your boundary.

Current readiness

Annotation, AI-assisted labeling, and validated export are live today. Model training runs on a GPU worker you control (private-worker architecture); hosted training is on the roadmap. Sector accuracy is validated per pilot.
