Abstract

The issues of improving the accuracy of visual corrosion monitoring are relevant and are not yet fully resolved. The main approaches to the quantitative assessment of corrosion damage to metal under paint coatings have been developed. The methods involving photography with a resolution over 30 megapixels and training the program on samples both without and with visible corrosion foci using modern computer vision technologies, neural network architectures and image processing methods will make it possible to automate and improve the accuracy of quantitative assessment of paint coatings damage.
