Do lithium battery shells have defects?

The presence of pits, R-angle injuries, hard printing, and other defects on the end face of lithium battery shells severely affects the production safety and usage safety of lithium battery products. In this study, we propose an effective defect-detection model, called Sim-YOLOv5s, for lithium battery steel shells.

How to detect a lithium battery surface defect?

Wu et al. used a structured light method based on multiple exposures to reconstruct the 3D shape of a lithium battery and then converted the abnormal part of the 3D point cloud into a 2D image for lithium battery surface defect detection by a highly greyscale transformation with an accuracy of 97.17% .

Why is detecting lithium battery shell defects important?
