Catalogue Photography as a Cold Start: Toward Deployable Rotary Milling Tool Recognition

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 3, 2026 · UTC

Verifying that manufactured batches of rotary milling tools, also known as carbide burrs, conform to production order sheets remains a largely manual and error-prone quality assurance task. Automating this process with computer vision faces a critical cold-start constraint since no labelled imagery from the deployment environment is available, leaving manufacturer catalogue photography as the sole source of supervision. We investigate how far catalogue supervision can support an industrial recognition pipeline under domain shift, explicitly measuring the gap between catalogue separability and
