  text: 'It is crucial to identify defective machine components in production to ensure
    quality. Some components generate heat when defective, so automating the inspection
    process with a thermal imaging camera can provide qualitative measurements. This
    work aims to use computer vision methods to locate these components in thermal
    images. Since there is currently  no comparison of object detection and semantic
    segmentation algorithms for this use case, this study compares different architectures
    with the goal of localising these components for  further defect inspection. Moreover,
    as there are currently no datasets for this use case, this study contributes a
    novel annotated dataset of thermal images of combine harvester  components. The
    different algorithms are evaluated based on the quality of their predictions and
    their suitability for further defect inspection. As semantic segmentation and
    object  detection cannot be directly compared with each other, custom weighted
    metrics are used. The architectures evaluated include RetinaNet, YOLOV8 Detector,
    DeepLabV3+, and  SegFormer. Based on the experimental results, semantic segmentation
    outperforms object detection regarding the use case, and the SegFormer architecture
    achieves the best results  with a weighted MeanIOU of 0.853.  '

  text: Additive Manufacturing (AM) technologies are increasingly used for final part
    production. Especially technologies for processing of metal, like Selective LaserMelting
    (SLM), arefocusedin this area. The shift from prototyping towards  final  part
    production results in enhanced requirements for repeatability and predictability
    of the part quality. Machine  manufacturers offer process monitoring solutions
    for different aspects of the production process, like the powder bed surface,
    the melt pool, and the laser energy. Nevertheless, the significance of these systems
    is not fully proven and threshold values for the monitored process parameters
    have to be determined for each product individually. This impedes the development
    of suitable process control systems. The paper gives an overview ofexistingresearch
    approaches and available process monitoring systems for SLM and their applicability
    for predicting certain part characteristics. The existing solutions are evaluated
    based on own research results. Next, AM specific difficulties for the development
    of process control tools and possible solutions are discussed.
