Classification
During classification, the entire image is assigned to a class. Therefore, only the corresponding sample images need to be made known to the network. In this process, each image is assigned an associated confidence value for the class. This indicates the match rate of the presented image with the respective class.
Object detection
Object detection enables the detection and spatial localization of various trained classes in an image. A recognized object is assigned to a class and outlined in a rectangle. The recognition and differentiation of different objects is also used for reading fonts and for optical character recognition (OCR).
Segmentation
Segmentation represents a refinement of object detection. It is a more precise version of object detection. In this method, each individual image pixel, including the background, is assigned a class. This allows a detected object to be precisely segmented.
Anomaly detection
Anomaly detection identifies deviations from a good version. To train the system, defect-free objects are used first. The system then recognizes errors (e.g. cracks, holes, scratches) in the image as deviations. The advantage is that the system learns to find errors without knowing them beforehand.
