A SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETECTION OF DEVIATIONS IN PACKAGING CONTAINERS

A method for detection of deviations in packaging containers is disclosed, comprising creating a virtual model (201) of a packaging container (401) in a virtual coordinate system (x, y, z), defining a deformation zone on a surface of the virtual model (201), creating a defined deviation in the deformation zone having a defined geometry and coordinates in the virtual coordinate system (x, y, z) to create a controlled deformation of the virtual model (201), producing an image rendering of the virtual model (201) with said controlled deformation to generate image features representing a deviation in the packaging container (401), associating the image features with different categories of deviations, and inputting the image features to a machine learning-based model for subsequent detection of categories of deviations in packaging containers (401) in a packaging machine (400) based on the image features. A system for detection of deviations is also disclosed.
