Abstract: Control Chart Pattern Recognition (CCPR) plays a crucial role in maintaining product quality. This paper presents some recognition models that utilizes a custom convolutional network alongside pretrained VGG19, MobileNet, and LeNet networks to identify Control Chart Patterns (CCP) for autocorrelated processes. The suggested architectures autonomously extract features from input data, in contrast to conventional methods that necessitate manual feature engineering. This study addresses the challenge of training deep networks with insufficient training data by employing transfer learning to refine a VGG19, MobileNet, and LeNet model, for a new CCPR task. The comparison of the performance between pre-trained networks and the extended convolutional network as a 2D CNN, which does not utilize transfer learning, indicates that pre-trained networks attain superior recognition accuracies with a smaller training data. On the other hand, the pretrained VGG19 demonstrates superior performance when compared to 1D CNN and conventional machine learning techniques, highlighting the advantages of utilizing transfer learning. Additionally, the utilization of pre-trained models addresses the challenge of the intricate design involved in the feature extraction component of deep networks that possess numerous hyperparameters. The suggested method has demonstrated significant potential for identifying CCPs, as evidenced by comparative experimental findings and a real-world case study.
