<p>Metrics and latency are reported from the supplied Kaggle output, not independently reproduced. Latency is environment/measurement specific and is not a target CPU benchmark. The model is not validated on new factory deployments.</p>

<h2>Purpose and limitations</h2>
<p>Educational two-class classification of casting images (<code>def_front</code> = defective; <code>ok_front</code> = acceptable). For <strong>human-reviewed prototype inspection only</strong>; not an industrial release decision or certified quality system.</p>

<h2>Model details</h2>
<ul>
  <li>Custom PyTorch CNN trained from scratch; see <code>src/quality.py</code> in the source repository for architecture and preprocessing</li>
  <li>Packaged weights: <code>model.pth</code> (archive path <code>checkpoints/casting_cnn.pth</code>)</li>
  <li>Exact ordered labels: <code>labels.json</code></li>
  <li>Use the project's original loader and preprocessing rather than assuming a generic Hugging Face Transformer loader can use the <code>.pth</code> file.</li>
</ul>

<h2>Training data</h2>
<p>Real-Life Industrial Dataset of Casting Product by Ravirajsinh Dabhi (<a href="https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/ravirajsinh45/real-life-industrial-dataset-of-casting-product">Kaggle dataset</a>). The source README identifies its Kaggle licence as <strong>CC BY-NC-ND 4.0</strong>, including non-commercial and no-derivatives restrictions. Rights to publish dataset-trained checkpoint weights require separate verification; model-developer consent does not settle third-party licensing. No input images are redistributed here.</p>

<h2>Inference and dependencies</h2>
<p>The checkpoint is intended to be loaded using the matching architecture from <a href="https://github.com/Theivanth/Factory-Vision-AI"><code>src/quality.py</code> in the source repository</a>. Do <strong>not</strong> call arbitrary <code>torch.load</code> on untrusted checkpoints. The project has known image-size, normalisation, and class-order requirements; check the current source for the exact implementation before inference.</p>

<h2>Licensing and distribution</h2>
<p>The source project has an MIT licence for <strong>its code</strong>, not necessarily the checkpoint. <strong>Keep this repository private until the casting dataset's non-commercial/no-derivatives conditions and trained-weight publication rights have been resolved.</strong> No model-weight licence is asserted in this card.</p>
