# PCB Defect Detector

A Hugging Face Space for **PCB defect detection and inspection reporting** using a **YOLOv8s** model fine-tuned on **DeepPCB**.

## What this app does
Upload a PCB image to:
- detect PCB defects with bounding boxes
- identify the defect class
- generate an inspection-style report with:
  - severity
  - explanation
  - likely root cause
  - possible impact
  - recommended action

## Supported defect classes
- copper
- mousebite
- open
- pin-hole
- short
- spur

## Model
Base detector: **YOLOv8s** fine-tuned on DeepPCB  
Model card: [Janani-V/pcb-defect-yolov8s-deeppcb](https://huggingface.co/Janani-V/pcb-defect-yolov8s-deeppcb)

## Notes
- The YOLO model performs **defect detection only**.
- Severity, explanation, root cause, impact, and action are generated using a **rule-based defect knowledge layer** built on top of the model outputs.
- This demo is intended for **educational, research, and prototype AOI workflows**.
