Create diverse synthetic product images using generative AI, train a custom computer vision model, and deploy it for automated quality control inspection.

Workflow Steps

1

Runway ML

Generate synthetic product variations

Use Runway's Gen-2 to create hundreds of product images with different lighting, backgrounds, angles, and defects. Apply domain randomization by varying environmental conditions, textures, and positioning to create a robust training dataset.

2

Roboflow

Annotate and augment training data

Upload synthetic images to Roboflow, add bounding box annotations for defects or features, and apply additional augmentations (rotation, blur, noise) to further diversify the dataset and improve model robustness.

3

Google Cloud AutoML Vision

Train custom object detection model

Import the annotated dataset from Roboflow into AutoML Vision. Train a custom model to detect specific product defects, quality issues, or classification categories using the diverse synthetic training data.

Automate model deployment workflow

Set up automated triggers that send new production images to the trained model via API, collect predictions, and route flagged items to quality control teams through Slack or email notifications.

Why This Works

Synthetic data generation with domain randomization creates robust training datasets that perform better in real-world conditions than models trained on limited real data

Best For

Manufacturing companies need to train vision models for quality control but lack sufficient real-world defect images
