This paper presents a novel approach for extracting 3D weld point information using a two-stage deep learning pipeline based on readily available 2D RGB cameras. Our method utilizes YOLOv8s for object detection, specifically targeting vertices, followed by semantic segmentation for precise pixel localization. This pipeline addresses the challenges posed by low-contrast images and complex geometries, significantly reducing costs compared with traditional 3D-based solutions. We demonstrated the effectiveness of our approach through a comparison with a 3D-point-cloud-based method, showcasing the potential for improved speed and efficiency. This research advances the field of automated welding by providing a cost-effective and versatile solution for extracting key information from 2D images.
