Abstract
In recent years, image analysis AI, including deep learning–based methods, has rapidly advanced. As a result, numerous cases have been reported in which operational labor savings and efficiency improvements have been achieved across various industries through the application of image analysis AI. At Central Japan Railway Company (JR Central), an in-house AI development environment has been established to detect tire surface flaws on SCMaglev vehicle tires, and efforts have been made to internalize AI-based image analysis technologies. In this study, we investigate the impact of upgrading camera resolution on the detection performance of an existing trained model and examine detection methods for identifying smaller-scale flaws. The results provide insights into how high-resolution imaging can be effectively utilized without retraining the detection model.
