Abstract

The Fiber Distribution Panel (FDP) box is an essential piece of internet access hardware because it provides users with highspeed data networking and functions as a cable organizer to reduce wire clutter. After installing the FDP, an inspection must be performed to ensure that all necessary components are present. However, This examination is still done manually; the technician snaps a picture of the panel and sends it to its supervisor for verification, which is time-consuming and often prone to errors. In addition to images captured in low-light and complex environments, it makes it more difficult for humans to identify the components with just a naked eye. On this matter, a much more efficient method to assess the FDP installation work is very much needed. Therefore, using computer vision approaches, we utilize a deep learning algorithm to perform object detection and automate the assessment of FDP installation components based on visual data. One of the deep learning models established in the literature is the You Only Look Once (YOLO) model, a one-stage deep learning object detection algorithm that employs a fully conventional approach to generate highly accurate real-time predictions. This paper uses YOLOv5s to identify the fiber box and its relevant components, even in urban environments. Experimentations show that YOLO successfully identified the installation parts with a mean average precision score of 86% at a 0.5 confidence level, even with limited data.
