Severstal Steel defect detection
Steel is very much prone to get defects during the manufacturing or shipping process, and it is very difficult for large manufacturing companies to detect these defects with help of manpower. Hence, there is scope to train a machine learning or deep learning model to detect these defects. Severstal is a Russian company mainly operating in the steel and mining industry, headquartered in Cherepovets. Severstal conducted a kaggle competition by providing the data of defective steel images. This story is about my work as a response to the above Kaggle competition.
