New VQA model automates NDE image analysis using ResNet-50 and GPT-2

Researchers have developed a Visual Question Answering (VQA) model tailored for nondestructive evaluation (NDE) image analysis. This system integrates a ResNet-50 model for image feature extraction and GPT-2 for language generation, enabling inspectors to query NDE images and receive precise answers about defects. The goal is to enhance inspection efficiency and reduce errors in practical field applications. AI

IMPACT This VQA model could significantly improve efficiency and accuracy in industrial inspection tasks by enabling direct, natural language queries of image data.
