Abstract:Additive Manufacturing (AM), i.e. 3D printing, of metal parts is growing in popularity, but part quality can still be a limiting factor to that growth. Camera-based monitoring systems improve quality by detecting defects on-the-fly, but it often relies on incomplete handcrafted video features, or hard to interpret features derived by data-driven techniques. In this work, we propose a method based on variational autoencoders (VAEs) that produces highly informative and interpretable features for in-situ AM monit… Show more
