Abstract
This paper documents progress on a project whose objective is to improve the performance of a machine vision based parts inspection system through the development and testing of robust neuro-fuzzy based algorithms. An inspection problem faced by a Canadian automotive parts manufacturer is being used as a case study. The problem involves a vision system that is being used to confirm the placement of metal fastening clips on a structural member that supports a truck dash panel. It took the manufacturer over 8 months to tune their commercial machine vision system to detect missing clips. It is hypothesized that a neuro-fuzzy based approach could provide for faster tuning of their vision system. Preliminary results show strong performance of the neuro-fuzzy system and a new algorithm is being developed on this basis to automatically learn the inspection process from a series of training images

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
