Hi Onur,
That sounds like an incredible project, and it has a lot of potential to help the leather industry! Leather defect detection using AI could be a real game changer for quality control.
As for the issue with needing visual data, you could consider crowdsourcing photos through platforms like social media or leather working forums, or even partner with leather manufacturers or tanneries for access to their image data. Another option could be using publicly available datasets for training AI, though they might not be specific to leather.
In terms of your translation, “leather calcification” may refer to “leather hardening” or “leather curing” in English, but it depends on the context. You may want to consult with a leather expert to make sure you’ve got the right terminology.
Best of luck with your project! It sounds like a valuable tool for leather workers. Feel free to reach out if you need any advice or ideas as you move forward!
