Abstract

A method and an apparatus for inspecting a corrosion defect of a ladle are provided. The method includes: acquiring images from various angles using an image acquisition apparatus inside a to-be-inspected ladle; and inputting the acquired images into a defect inspection system to obtain a label representing a defect category, the defect inspection system including: a deep convolutional neural network that predicts a category of a corrosion defect of the ladle included in the images based on the input images. This method has the advantages of high safety, high accuracy and high real-time performance in inspecting the ladle status.
