[0002] In the field of industrial manufacturing, plating parts are widely used, from daily necessities to precision mechanical parts. The surface quality of plating parts directly affects product performance and appearance.

In severe cases, it may even cause the product to be unable to use normally, so plating part surface defect detection is very important.

[0003] Traditional plating part surface defect detection mainly relies on manual visual inspection or simple automated optical detection equipment. Although manual detection can be adjusted flexibly for different products, it is low in efficiency and easily affected by subjective factors, making it difficult to ensure consistency and accuracy of detection. Early automated optical detection equipment can achieve a certain degree of automatic detection by scanning the workpiece with fixed optical sensors. This type of equipment usually includes a fixed-position camera or other optical sensor and corresponding image processing software to capture and analyze the surface image of the plating part and identify possible defects.

[0004] Although the above method improves the detection efficiency and accuracy to some extent, there are still many deficiencies. First of all, traditional manual detection method not only consumes a lot of manpower and material resources, but also due to factors such as eye fatigue, it is difficult to maintain high-precision detection results for a long time.
