“…Currently, there are three measurement systems for evaluating scraping workpieces: the industrial-camera system [ 26 ], the laser-based system [ 27 ], and the edge-cloud service system. The industrial-camera system uses a charge-coupled device (CCD) camera and an image processing method to identify the HOP.…”

In the terms of industry, the hand-scraping method is a key technology for achieving high precision in machine tools, and the quality of scraping workpieces directly affects the accuracy and service life of the machine tool. However, most of the quality evaluation of the scraping workpieces is carried out by the scraping worker’s subjective judgment, which results in differences in the quality of the scraping workpieces and is time-consuming. Hence, in this research, an edge-cloud computing system was developed to obtain the relevant parameters, which are the percentage of point (POP) and the peak point per square inch (PPI), for evaluating the quality of scraping workpieces. On the cloud computing server-side, a novel network called cascaded segmentation U-Net is proposed to high-quality segment the height of points (HOP) (around 40 μm height) in favor of small datasets training and then carries out a post-processing algorithm that automatically calculates POP and PPI. This research emphasizes the architecture of the network itself instead. The design of the components of our network is based on the basic idea of identity function, which not only solves the problem of the misjudgment of the oil ditch and the residual pigment but also allows the network to be end-to-end trained effectively. At the head of the network, a cascaded multi-stage pixel-wise classification is designed for obtaining more accurate HOP borders. Furthermore, the “Cross-dimension Compression” stage is used to fuse high-dimensional semantic feature maps across the depth of the feature maps into low-dimensional feature maps, producing decipherable content for final pixel-wise classification. Our system can achieve an error rate of 3.7% and 0.9 points for POP and PPI. The novel network achieves an Intersection over Union (IoU) of 90.2%.
