A new computer vision system called CableDex has been developed to accurately estimate the length of industrial cables on reels from a single mobile phone photograph. This system utilizes camera calibration, instance segmentation, pose estimation, and volumetric calculations to achieve a mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) of 4.90%, which is within the acceptable industrial tolerance of 10%. The CableDex system was trained on 1,000 annotated images and can perform inference in just 5.66 milliseconds per image, demonstrating its efficiency for practical industrial applications. AI
IMPACT This system could streamline industrial inventory and logistics by enabling quick, accurate cable length measurements.
