As part of your thesis, you will investigate federated learning for decentralized AI model training for tool wear detection and measurement in milling processes within the »FL4AI« project. A custom dataset has been acquired, consisting of microscopic tool wear images and CNC-integrated camera videos. Your task will be to generate AI pipelines to detect and measure flank wear according to ISO DIN 8688-2 in centralized, individual, and federated learning scenar...
