Design a Computer Vision Quality Inspection System — System Design Interview Practice
Design a computer vision system for automated quality inspection in manufacturing that detects defects on production lines, classifies defect types, and integrates with factory automation systems. Work through the requirements, architecture trade-offs, and an interactive design review.
Requirements and concepts to consider
- Capture high-resolution images from production linesRequirement
- Detect surface defects (scratches, dents, cracks)Requirement
- Classify defect types and severityRequirement
- Handle varying lighting and positioningRequirement
- Process at production line speedRequirement
- Generate quality reports and statisticsRequirement
- Integrate with PLC and factory automationRequirement
- Support model updates without line stoppageRequirement
