A Study on the Detection of Hole in Automotive CV Joint Boot Using Image Processing and AI Techniques

Detecting and analyzing defects in components or systems is crucial for maintaining high-quality standards in modern manufacturing and quality control. Recently, imaging-based defect detection methods have gained popularity across various engineering fields, highlighting their growing importance. Additionally, the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to improve accuracy and efficiency is rapidly advancing. This paper presents a system that uses imaging to detect holes in CV joint boots, as these holes significantly affect the overall performance and durability of the system. Moreover, it introduces a method for enhancing detection performance by applying AI techniques. Validation tests on actual CV joint boots confirmed that the proposed method improves detection performance.
