Abstract
A system and method for training a deep-learning algorithm to detect a defect in a ceramic rolling element incudes capturing a first data set of digital radiographic images of rolling elements, filtering the images of the first data set to improve contrast, classifying each image using a statistical learning algorithm into a first class of suspect rolling elements or into a first class of non-suspect rolling elements, using the first data set to train a deep-learning algorithm to classify each image of the first data set into a second class of suspect rolling elements or into a second class of non-suspect rolling elements, and comparing the classifications performed by the deep-learning algorithm to the classifications performed by the statistical learning algorithm to determine an accuracy of the deep-learning algorithm.
