Reliable datasets are therefore essential for data-driven modeling, yet process labels such as the nominal infeed are often affected by machine tolerances and thus introduce uncertainty. This work presents a camera-based methodology for automated feature extraction at the end of the deep drawing process. Using an inline profile projector, relevant geometric features such as circle distances, centroid positions, and local material widths are extracted from high-speed image data. The implemented algorithm combines edge detection, circle fitting, centroid analysis, and directional width measurements to generate consistent feature sets under industrial conditions. Challenges such as material reflections, asymmetric deformation, and non-ideal boundary conditions are addressed, and geometry-specific obstacles for feature detection are discussed. The extracted features are further analyzed with respect to their statistical variability across systematically varied infeed values. Results demonstrate that the variance of image-based features increases with higher infeed, indicating that nominal process labels do not always reflect the actual material position. The study highlights the importance of uncertainty quantification in dataset generation for machine learning in forming technology. By linking process variation to directly observable geometry features, the proposed approach provides both methodological guidance for feature extraction and conceptual insights into label quality in industrial datasets. camera-based feature extraction uncertainty quantification progressive die deep drawing inline measurement data-driven modeling label noise Full Text Additional Declarations No competing interests reported.

Reliable datasets are therefore essential for data-driven modeling, yet process labels such as the nominal infeed are often affected by machine tolerances and thus introduce uncertainty. \n\nThis work presents a camera-based methodology for automated feature extraction at the end of the deep drawing process. Using an inline profile projector, relevant geometric features such as circle distances, centroid positions, and local material widths are extracted from high-speed image data. The implemented algorithm combines edge detection, circle fitting, centroid analysis, and directional width measurements to generate consistent feature sets under industrial conditions. \n\nChallenges such as material reflections, asymmetric deformation, and non-ideal boundary conditions are addressed, and geometry-specific obstacles for feature detection are discussed. The extracted features are further analyzed with respect to their statistical variability across systematically varied infeed values. Results demonstrate that the variance of image-based features increases with higher infeed, indicating that nominal process labels do not always reflect the actual material position. \n\nThe study highlights the importance of uncertainty quantification in dataset generation for machine learning in forming technology. By linking process variation to directly observable geometry features, the proposed approach provides both methodological guidance for feature extraction and conceptual insights into label quality in industrial datasets.","manuscriptTitle":"Camera-based feature extraction and uncertainty analysis in deep drawing in progressive dies","msid":"","msnumber":"","nonDraftVersions":[{"code":1,"date":"2025-10-30 14:29:28","doi":"10.21203/rs.3.rs-7970217/v1","editorialEvents":[{"type":"communityComments","content":0},{"type":"decision","content":"Revision requested","date":"2025-11-28T12:41:05+00:00","index":"","fulltext":""},{"type":"editorInvitedReview","content":"","date":"2025-11-28T11:42:33+00:00","index":"hide","fulltext":""},{"type":"editorInvitedReview","content":"","date":"2025-11-25T15:19:49+00:00","index":"hide","fulltext":""},{"type":"reviewerAgreed","content":"8045128928825828154658502921567757614","date":"2025-11-11T10:29:39+00:00","index":"hide","fulltext":""},{"type":"reviewerAgreed","content":"95512667366614927879839907876730657103","date":"2025-11-05T08:34:37+00:00","index":"hide","fulltext":""},{"type":"reviewersInvited","content":"","date":"2025-11-03T08:29:20+00:00","index":"","fulltext":""},{"type":"editorAssigned","content":"","date":"2025-10-29T20:17:32+00:00","index":"","fulltext":""},{"type":"checksComplete","content":"","date":"2025-10-29T13:31:12+00:00","index":"","fulltext":""},{"type":"submitted","content":"Production Engineering","date":"2025-10-28T15:56:44+00:00","index":"","fulltext":""}],"status":"published","journal":{"display":true,"email":"
