🔧 Configuration

Model Configuration

Update public/models/config.json to configure your YOLO model:

{
  "models": {
    "yolo-defect-detector": {
      "modelUrl": "/models/yolo-defect-detector/model.json",
      "inputSize": { "width": 640, "height": 640 },
      "classNames": ["crack", "corrosion", "deformation", ...],
      "confidenceThreshold": 0.5
    }
  }
}

Detection Parameters

Customize detection parameters in the component profiles:

• Confidence Threshold: Minimum confidence for defect detection
• Material Types: Metal, plastic, composite, ceramic
• Defect Types: Crack, corrosion, deformation, surface irregularities
• Image Requirements: Resolution, file size, formats

🧪 Testing

Run the test suite:

# Run all tests
npm test

# Run tests in watch mode
npm run test:watch

# Run tests with coverage
npm run test:coverage
