Failure analysis increasingly depends on high‑resolution imaging, but extracting quantitative information from large datasets is still manual and slow. This talk explores how instance segmentation and other AI methods can add concrete value to failure analysis workflows. We compare classical & AI-based computer vision approaches and discuss their advantages & disadvantages. In a short live demo we will show a few examples from the EU project FA2IR and demonstrate gains in throughput, repeatability and traceability.
