Abstract
A system identifying an area of interest of an inspection surface is disclosed. A controller includes a machine learning model trained using stored images defining an area of interest on the inspection surface. A laser projector for projecting laser indicia onto the inspection surface is spatially located relative to the inspection surface enabling the laser projector to project the laser indicia onto the area of interest. An imager includes an image sensor system generates a current image of the inspection surface and signals the current image to the controller. The machine learning model is directed to the area of interest of the current image as identified by the laser indicia and the machine learning model implementing the neural network to inspect the current image of the area of interest as defined by the laser indicia enabling localized inspection of the inspection surface.
