This phenomenon is prevalent among the primary plastic products where the objects are devoid of texture. This work proposes a solution for the deformation estimation of texture-less plastic objects using only a single RGB image. This solution encompasses a unique image dataset of five deformed parts, including both real-world and synthetic images, a novel method for generating mesh labels, sequential deformation, and a training model based on graph convolution. The sequential deformation method overcomes the prevalent chamfer distance algorithm in generating precise mesh labels. The model achieves a sub-millimeter accuracy on synthetic images and approximately 2.0 mm on real images, with an average testing time of 1.5 s on the Google Colab’s resources. The model’s high precision and speed make it suitable for real-world applications.xvi, 88electronicenhttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2master thesisDubay, RickeyPickard, Joshua K.Sun, GraceMechanical Engineering
