title: "How to inspect stone slabs with computer vision"
description: "A camera rig over the slab rack or cutting table takes a full photo of each slab under even light. A model trained on the shop own images marks likely flaws such as cracks, fissures, chips, pits, resin gaps and stains, and outlines them on the slab photo. The photo is tagged with the slab ID so sales and layout staff can see the real face of each slab, match veins and color across a job, and plan cuts that keep flaws out of visible spots. A fabricator reviews the marks before cutting and decides where to cut, what to repair and what to set aside. The model does not replace hands-on checks, measurements or install rules, and people make every layout and quality call."

# How can a stone yard or countertop fabricator use computer vision to check slabs before cutting?
A camera rig over the slab rack or cutting table takes a full photo of each slab under even light. A model trained on the shop own images marks likely flaws such as cracks, fissures, chips, pits, resin gaps and stains, and outlines them on the slab photo. The photo is tagged with the slab ID so sales and layout staff can see the real face of each slab, match veins and color across a job, and plan cuts that keep flaws out of visible spots. A fabricator reviews the marks before cutting and decides where to cut, what to repair and what to set aside. The model does not replace hands-on checks, measurements or install rules, and people make every layout and quality call.
## What this means in practice
- Start with one rack or one cutting table and even lighting.
- Label photos from your own slabs for cracks, chips, pits and stains.
- Tag each photo with the slab ID in your stock system.
- Show flaw marks on the layout screen before cutting.
- Have a fabricator check the marks and make every cut decision.
