  • Patent number: 11978189
    Abstract: Embodiments of this application provide a defect detection method and apparatus. The method includes: obtaining an image for inspection; performing anomaly detection on the image for inspection to obtain an anomaly region image corresponding to the image for inspection; and performing defect classification on the anomaly region image to obtain defect detection information of the image for inspection. The defect detection method of the embodiments of this application is divided into two steps of anomaly detection and defect classification. Anomaly detection is performed on the image for inspection first, and then defect classification needs to be performed only on an anomaly region, reducing the workload of defect classification, thereby improving the efficiency of defect detection.

  • Publication number: 20240062336
    Abstract: A correction method for a depth image of a battery includes obtaining the depth image of the battery. The depth image includes two adjacent surfaces of a shell assembly of the battery and an intersecting line between the two adjacent surfaces. The method further includes extracting the intersecting line from the depth image, determining planes in the depth image in which the two adjacent surfaces are located, and obtaining a datum plane based on the intersecting line and the planes in which the two adjacent surfaces are located. The datum plane is parallel to the intersecting line, and included angles between the datum plane and the planes in which the two adjacent surfaces are located are equal to each other. The method also includes projecting and mapping points in the depth image to the datum plane, to obtain depth information of points in a corrected depth image.
