Abstract

Systems and methods for bond quality assessment are provided. In one example, operations include receiving an input image of a vehicle component have adhesive bonding at a surface of the vehicle component. The operations cause a neural network to generate a set surface of features based on a set of training images. The operations also cause a neural network to classify one or more of the surface features as one or more inadequate coverage regions of the adhesive bonding. The operations further cause the neural network to generate a mapping. The operations cause the neural network to predict a coverage score for the vehicle component based on the one or more inadequate coverage regions. The operations include applying a set of rules to the mapping and the coverage score to generate a bond quality assessment of the vehicle component. The operations include executing a vehicle component fabrication plan.
