The method further includes selecting one or more inference codes from the plurality inference codes based on a user input and/or one or more characteristics of at least a portion of the received plurality of training images. The method also includes inspecting the received image using the one or more inference codes of the plurality of inference codes. | 2022-06-16 |
20220189006 | DETERMINATION OF THE DECISION-RELEVANT IMAGE COMPONENTS FOR AN IMAGE CLASSIFIER USING BINARY MASKS - A method for measuring the components of an input image on which an image classifier bases its decision regarding the assignment of this input image to one or multiple class(es) of a predefined classification. The method includes: providing binary masks, which indicate which pixels of the input image and/or of an intermediate product formed in the image classifier are considered relevant; assessing the binary masks using a quality function, which is a measure of the extent to which at least one classification score, supplied by the image classifier, with respect to at least one target class changes when the pixels of the input image or of the intermediate product which are relevant according to the binary mask are changed; and ascertaining the sought-after components of the input image relevant for the decision of the image classifier from the combination of the binary masks with respective assessments by the quality function. | 2022-06-16 |
20220189007 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETECTING PRODUCT DEFECTS ACROSS MANUFACTURING PROCESS - Disclosed herein is method and fault detection system for detecting faults in one or more products. In an embodiment, method comprises generating plurality of wavelet coefficients corresponding to transformed images of each of the one or more products and determining a set of invariant features from the plurality of wavelet coefficients. Further, a dynamic set of invariant features is generated by grouping invariant features into a set of groups based on type of the one or more products. Subsequently, the dynamic set of invariant features is quantized based on a predetermined quantization threshold and a representative coefficient signature is associated for each group in the dynamic set of invariant features. Finally, faults in the one or more products are detected by comparing coefficient signatures associated with the one or more products with the representative coefficient signature of each group in the dynamic set of invariant features. In an embodiment, the present disclosure helps in accurate detection of faults in one or more products irrespective of type and characteristics of one or more products. | 2022-06-16 |
